The Philharmonic Orchestra of Kontokali








The Philharmonic Orchestra of Kontokali

This began as a children's choir in 1990 and extended its activities to a children's band, with the financial support of the residents of the area. In 1994 it was officially registered as a Musical Society, with Minas Ertso as teacher. Its first public appearance was at the Agia Triada Epitaphios procession in Kontokali a year later. Since then its appearances have been regular, especially at the Epitaphios, the Resurrection, at Christmas and the New Year. More frequent are the performances by the Orchestra during the summer, not only in Kontokali but also at cultural events organized by the Municipality of Corfu and the Nomarch's Department. Today the Kontokali Philharmonic has 40 children in its classes, studying music. There are two other teachers apart from Minas Ertso.
