We are pleased to announce ‘The Delphic Preview: Festival of the Muses’, an on-line event organised by the Center for Hellenic Studies at Harvard University planned on next 17-20 June, in collaboration with the Isadora Duncan International Institute, the Ecumenical Delphic Union, and the Committee for the Reinstatement of the Delphic Games, and sponsors also include MOISA.
Global community is invited to engage with ancient Greek art, music, dance, poetry, song, myth, sport and theatre in modern interaction through live-streamed performances and discussions, and through a collection of videos, audio recordings, and articles, stored on the webpage of the
