An Indelible Memory: Commemorating the Greeks of Asia Minor

This year, 100 years after the destruction of the beautiful cosmopolitan city of Smyrna in 1922, the Boston Lykeion
Ellinidon will commemorate the survival and perseverance of the Hellenic peoples of Asia Minor. With a 3-day event
on November 11-13, we will recall and focus on the legacy of the unique culture of Asia Minor. Come and enjoy the
beautiful sounds of Anatolian music, join in traditional dances of the region, and hear speakers’ presentations on what
is being remembered and preserved here in America. Gather your “parea” and join in celebrating the vibrant, lasting
culture of Asia Minor! Read more here.
