Kapodistrias Philharmonic Band

Kapodistrias band was founded in 1980 in the island of Corfu, Greece and is one of the top three philharmonic bands of the island.
The band was the outcome of a spin off caused by certain members (in total 37) of Palaia Filarmoniki Kerkyras, in 1980. The official colours of the newly formatted band were decided to be red and black, while the first meetings took place in Delvinioti Street, Corfu. The first chief conductor (maestro) of our band was Mr Charilaos Maniatopoulos who was shortly joined by Mr Georgios Peroulis as co-chief Conductor. Kapodistrias band's first official performance took place in the New Year's Day of 1981.
Today, the band has circa 170 active musicians and offers theoretical music and instruments learning courses, all of which are for free.
