Anthony Solomou, chairman of Finchley Greek School, on the singer’s visit
On Friday, students from Finchley Greek School enjoyed a special treat when they took a break from their regular classes to meet Antigoni, the singer representing Cyprus in this year’s Eurovision Song Contest in Austria.
Born and raised locally, Antigoni attended Greek School herself and shared with the students how her time at Greek School nurtured her connection to her Cypriot heritage and helped shape her passion for music, particularly in learning to sing traditional Greek songs.
The children, aged 6 to 16, had the exciting opportunity to join Antigoni in performing her Eurovision entry, Jalla, creating a memorable experience that celebrated both music and cultural roots.
It was an honour to host the locally born and raised British Cypriot singer. Antigoni’s visit has inspired the children and showed them what can be achieved with passion and dedication.
