To celebrate this remarkable anniversary, the Thessaloniki branch invites students, alumni, and friends to a special event on Sunday, May 17th at 15:00, hosted at Mikri Skini, Eptalofou 14, Kato Toumpa — an afternoon dedicated to sound, memory, and creative expression.

Honoring the Past, Listening to the Future 60 Years of Agostini
The 60 Years Agostini anniversary event is more than a celebration; it is a tribute to the school’s journey, its contribution to drum education, and its role in shaping modern drumming in Greece.
