Golden Harvest: The Music and Traditions of the Greek Spongers of Tarpon Springs
February 1 @ 2:00 pm - 3:00 pm EST

Since Tarpon Springs’ Greek sponge diving industry was founded in the early 1900s, traditional Greek music, dance, and poetry have been at the center of the community.
This presentation explores the rich cultural history of Tarpon Springs through its music, including live performances on violin, lute, goatskin bagpipes, and songs in Greek and English.
