Saint Alexander Choir (Athens, Greece)

Saint Alexander’s choir was founded in 1943. It serves and is inspired by a historical 73-year-old course and has its roots deeply embedded in the Greek society and tradition and more specifically the southern suburbs.

It follows the Orthodox East Dogma. From its foundation until the recent year 2015, our choir used to represent the musical identification/ identity of the church of Saint Alexander in Palaion Faliron, which is, in terms of administration, a part of the Holy Metropolis of New Smyrna. Both the choir and its founder and former Principal, John Kottoros, have received numerous distinctions, the most recent of which would be the granting of the Golden Cross of Apostle Paul (2003) by Christodoulos, the Archbishop of Athens. Ever since 2014, the choir’s management has been undertaken by Charalampos Stergiopoulos-Roubas, who, in an attempt to extend the choir’s activity, has insisted upon the “recruitment” of new members within a new plan of redevelopment and constant presence.
