The recording will remain available on the SNFCC website.

In September 2019, Domna Samiou Folk Music Association and the Stavros Niarchos Foundation Cultural Center presented the Second Meeting of Youth Folk Ensembles.

Two days filled with music and songs, featuring 24 traditional music ensembles from all around Greece. Inspired by the towering personality of Domna Samiou and her lasting legacy, more than 200 young instrumentalists and vocalists made the Greek music heritage come alive and be relevant for a new generation to experience and explore.

The event's second edition brought together even more artists who had discovered that, as Domna Samiou used to say, “folk songs capture a people's attitude, pride and dignity.”

The artistic director was acclaimed instrumentalist Sokratis Sinopoulos, who was Domna Samiou’s close associate until the end of her life.

The Domna Samiou Folk Music Association is a non-profit organization founded by Domna Samiou in 1981, with support from people who admired her work and loved Greek folk music; the Association’s mission is to preserve and promote Greek folk music. Domna Samiou remained the Association’s President until her death, in March 2012.
