Welcome to Our Web Site!

The Metropolis of Boston Federation of Greek Orthodox Church Musicians is pleased to welcome you to its home on the World Wide Web. This wonderful tool will be used to help expand our music ministry as we reach out to more church musicians and disseminate information in a timely manner. Look for information on upcoming concerts, events and music news from around the Metropolis of Boston and the Archdiocese of America. 

The Metropolis of Boston Federation was established in 1946 as the first Church Music Federation in the United States (previously known as the New England Federation of Greek Orthodox Choirs). It is now one of Eight Church Music Federations of the Archdiocese of America who are linked together through the National Forum of Greek Orthodox Church Musicians, the official auxiliary of the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of America.

We look forward to your comments and feedback.
