Erini - Fos: An Asia Minor Story
A documentary, a concert, a shared story.

7pm: Performance by Erini
8:30pm: Dance Lesson by Politistikos Syllogos and Dr Christos Papakostas

This multidisciplinary concert combines film, live music, and community collaboration to explore the legacy of Greek refugees from Asia Minor. The program features An Asia Minor Story, a documentary following Greek singer Erini as she traces her family’s history, from her great-grandparents’ displacement in 1922 to her discovery of her ancestral village and a relative’s former home near Izmir, a century later. Songs from her debut album Fos, which reimagines traditional Asia Minor music, are woven throughout the screening, creating a dialogue between film and live performance. Collaborations with local musicians and communities celebrate cultural heritage, memory, and identity across generations.

The event is a joint collaboration of four Philadelphia-based community organizations including the Hellenic University Club of Philadelphia, Greek American Heritage Society of Philadelphia, Pan-Macedonian Youth of Philadelphia, and Politistikos Syllogos Philadelphias.
