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.

Federation Spotlight

The National Forum of Greek Orthodox Church Musicians Celebrates their 50th Anniversary!

For fifty years, the National Forum of Greek Orthodox Church Musicians has helped strengthen parish worship across the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of America — lifting choirs, supporting clergy, and advancing excellence in liturgical music.

What began as a bold vision has grown into a vibrant ministry of education, resources, and community. Because of faithful supporters like you, generations of church musicians have been trained, inspired, and united in service to Christ and His Church.

This year, we joyfully celebrate the 50th Anniversary of the National Forum, marking five decades since the ministry received its charter at the Clergy-Laity Congress through the blessing of Archbishop Iakovos of blessed memory. We invite you to celebrate this milestone with us by making a special 50th Anniversary gift of 50 dollars in support of the National Forum’s ongoing work. We will acknowledge your support in our 50th Anniversary Album, to be unveiled in June.

Your generosity will help the National Forum:

• Expand educational programs and workshops for church musicians
• Provide resources and publications that support parish music ministries
• Encourage youth initiatives that inspire the next generation of church musicians
• Continue building vibrant communities of singers, chanters, and leaders across the Archdiocese.

Together, we celebrate fifty years of Orthodox church music. With your support, this sacred ministry will continue to flourish for many years ahead.
