Students singing, dancing, playing a musical instrument, who have set up their own band, who have their own band, have now acquired their own festival. The Municipality of Byron will organize the 2nd Musical Student Festival, that is, a whole concert with students of the Gymnasiums and the High Schools of the city. He tried it for the first time last year, found a great response from the children, and now the Municipal Authority aspires to make it an institution, giving even more young musicians to present their talent and experience their first “concert” experience in their own city.

And it certainly has its own special importance, that the Municipality of Byron has developed over the years and other initiatives and generally presents a strong activity for young people and for their expression through the arts. For example, it has been organizing for a decade, with great success and the annual literary expression competition for students and even publishes a book with the works and poems of those children who have been awarded and awarded each year. That is, as a municipality, he has turned his eyes to the young people of the city over time and gives them stimuli and motivation to express themselves artistically in various fields of art.

“Yes, so, this is true.”Deputy Mayor of Culture, Thanasis Cleiassios, tells RES-EIA, and then points out: “In our municipality there is a tradition about the part of culture and how we touch the younger generation and the way to express it. And it’s not just that. There is also the Children-Neanual Festival of the Municipality, which has been holding since the 1980s and includes theatrical and artistic events. This year it will take place for the 37th time and children participate with performances and artistic creations. Therefore, our municipality has given children and young people to express themselves over time to express themselves and have a look at the arts through the arts. And that is why one can notice that these years there are so many artists who have sprung from Byron, because as a city and as a municipality we give this stimulus to young people. “

Regarding the Musical Student Festival, the 2nd Byron School Fest, as it is called, Mr Cleiassios states: “We tried it last year. When we took over as a new municipal authority and together with the Parents’ Union, we tried to create this music festival and there was a great response from the children. It was very successful so we decided to repeat it this year and make it an institution. “

And continues: “Of course, there are difficulties. For example, we also know from other actions that it is difficult to find a yeast of children every year that have shapes and bands, not all years are the same. But that’s why we are planning it so early that there is time to properly organize the festival program, with the various youth groups. “

The Deputy Mayor of Byron explains that the festival includes all kinds of music and that it will take place at the end of the school year. “It is not a competition, it has no competition. It is a festival where children will present their musical works »clarifies and continues: “There is no restriction but only to be high school and high school students. And it concerns all kinds of music, from classical, artistic and folk to rap, as long as they are within frames and not the songs abusive and violent.

Beyond that, we as a municipality offer logistical infrastructure and there will be a coordination to make a good programming and to come out a good music program. We will do it at the end of the school year, just after the end of the Pan -Hellenic exams, so that it is like the first celebration after the end of the student period. “

Based on last year’s experience and reception he had from the Byronians, Mr. Cleiassios replies: “The children were confused, enjoyed it, enjoyed it. So is the parents and the whole world. They told us afterwards and so we decided to repeat it. “

And ends: “We as a municipal authority give the first message that we are here and we want and can support the efforts of the children and any dreams of artistic slopes. We are here and we have children and young people in the center. “
