The "Omonia" Philharmonic Society of Gastouri








The "Omonia" Philharmonic Society of Gastouri

On 10th March 1898 the 'Mutual Benefit Association of Gastouri' was founded. At one of its meetings the idea was put forward to form a musical group as a philharmonic band, as well as a drama school and theatre. From that day to the present the band has been in existence without a break, with 260 members of whom 88 are active. The Philharmonic Society is housed in a private building which was donated to the association in 1906 by Margarita Pofanti.
