Welcome to the Archdiocesan District Federation of Greek Orthodox Church Musicians!
Our Federation brings together choir members, directors, organists, and chanters from across the Archdiocesan District to foster communication, fellowship, and the development of Greek Orthodox sacred music. We aim to promote high standards of choral singing, provide educational opportunities through workshops and conferences, and nurture the growth of church musicians in their roles. Our ultimate goal is to uplift the faithful through music during Divine Liturgy and other services.

“Lord, bless our music that it may glorify Your Name.
May serving You always be our aim.”

Our 2024 Annual Vasilopita and Council Meeting was held Saturday, January 27th at the Cathedral in NYC.  (original plans for Saint Michael’s fell through due to Covid concerns) It was great to reconnect, enjoy some fellowship, and have a productive meeting.

In honor of the man who founded our federation- a man of great integrity who loved the church and was a champion of the music, dedicated to the faith, and supporting many through the faith, music, and mentorship-

We are pleased to announce, in a unanimous vote, the Jeffrey Economou Church Music Grant to support choirs in the AD Federation.   

2024-25 Board received its Affirmation of Office.  We are looking forward to 2024 being a wonderful year!  

 

Congratulations to Cindy Ziemnicki (top row left center) of Assumption Church in Danbury on receiving the coin at our Vasilopita-Council Meeting on January 27th!  Cindy is the newest Senior Choir Director in the AD Federation.  How fitting she received the coin!  May your blessings be abundant this year!
