Running to August 9, this year’s Kournos Festival – founded in 2021 by opera singers and Limnos natives Anastasia Kotsali and Leto Messini – is dedicated to the centenary of the Asia Minor Catastrophe.
In this spirit, the festival’s program is centered around a series of concerts that explore the powerful ties between the northeastern Aegean island and the cultural legacy of Asia Minor, including folk melodies, rebetika and much more.
Other events include a show of photographs of local people and places. Details are available on the festival’s Facebook page.
