On a recent visit to New York, Maestro Marios Papadopoulos, Music Director of the Oxford Philharmonic, brought principal soloists from the orchestra for two salon-style performances to thank American Patrons for their support. Susan Gutfreund hosted a reception and recital at her Fifth Avenue apartment in honor of Maestro; and Antonia and Spiros Milonas together with H.E. Dr. Catherine Boura, the Permanent Representative from Greece to the United Nations, hosted a recital and seated dinner at the Embassy Residence.
