In Loving Memory... 

It is with great sadness that we announce the peaceful passing on January 9, 2025 of

 Maria S. Anagnostopoulos,

creative visionary and Program Director of The Greek Institute for over two-decades, accomplished musician, loving mother to Demetra Anagnostopoulos, and devoted life-partner of the Institute's Founder, Athan H. Anagnostopoulos. Her immense contributions to the promotion and protection of Greek culture will never be forgotten.

May her soul be eternal, and rest in peace.

  • Please note: Due to recent learnings about the convenience and structure of the Greek language class cycles, we have decided to offer three (3) instead of four (4) cycles, each for 13-weeks (instead of 10). This will affect the overall fee for the cycle, while the per-class cost will still remain the same.

VIDEOS OF PAST EVENTS HOSTED BY THE GREEK INSTITUTE 
 
As a result of Covid-19, we at The Greek Institute had to find creative ways to continue offering our core events and programs to the public. We were very fortunate to partner with a wonderful production company, The Autumn Salon, led by Christos Vayenas. In collaboration with The Autumn Salon, we were able to produce the following events, which we offer to you. Enjoy!
