Syros Gathering

“Syros Gathering”: Three Cultural Associations Unite on Stage at the Apollo Theatre

Three places, one heart, one gathering of tradition — from Naousa and Thessaloniki to Syros.

The Apollo Theatre will host a special music and dance event on Monday, 26 October 2026, at 19:30, with free admission for the public.

The Traditional Workshop of Syros, Aroma Paradosis (“Fragrance of Tradition”), is organising the “Syros Gathering,” inviting everyone to enjoy a performance dedicated to the richness of Greek traditional dance and the bonds it creates between people. Three cultural associations from Syros, Naousa and Melissochori, Thessaloniki, will come together on the same stage, united by their shared love of traditional dance.

Different experiences, dance journeys and local traditions will come together in a celebration of culture, friendship and mutual understanding.

The participating associations are:

The Traditional Workshop of Syros, “Aroma Paradosis.”

The Environmental and Cultural Association “Arapitsa,” from Naousa.

The Melissochori Youth Educational and Cultural Association, from Thessaloniki.

The dancers from the three associations will present a musical and dance performance that aims to convey to the audience the vitality, emotion and sense of community embodied in tradition. Each dance tells a story passed down from generation to generation, and every gathering offers an opportunity to keep this tradition alive.

For Aroma Paradosis, welcoming the two visiting associations is a special occasion for cultural exchange.

The “Syros Gathering” celebrates cooperation and human connection, highlighting the power of dance to bring people together across different places and backgrounds.

We invite you to join us for this special evening and welcome our guest associations with your warmest applause!

Start time: 19:30

Admission: Free, with an admission ticket available through TicketServices or at the Apollo Theatre box office.

Organiser: Aroma Paradosis
