Congratulations to the National Forum of Greek Orthodox Church Musicians on this milestone anniversary! Our very own Federation President Costas Tsourakis led the musical performances for the National Forum of Greek Orthodox Church Musicians at the 48th Biennial Clergy-Laity Congress of the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of America!
From the opening moments of the 2026 Clergy-Laity Congress in Cleveland, the National Forum of Greek Orthodox Church Musicians has underscored the vital role sacred music continues to play in the life of the Greek Orthodox Church in America. Celebrating its 50th anniversary, the Forum has maintained a visible presence throughout the week, highlighting its rich legacy while charting a course for the future of Orthodox music ministry.
The centerpiece of the Forum’s celebrations was the 50th Anniversary Luncheon, attended by His Eminence Archbishop Elpidophoros of America, Patriarchal representatives His Eminence Metropolitan Arsenios of Austria, His Eminence Metropolitan Philotheos of Thessaloniki, and Grand Archimandrite Iakovos, as well as members of the Holy Eparchial Synod, clergy, church musicians, and friends of the ministry from across the country.
