NYC Bouzouki School Events

At NYC Bouzouki School, we don't just teach the bouzouki — we live it. Our events bring together a passionate community of musicians, students, and Greek music lovers for immersive experiences rooted in tradition and culture.

Whether you're a beginner exploring your first chords or a long-time musician deepening your technique, our calendar is packed with events designed to inspire, connect, and celebrate.

What to Expect at Our Events

🎤 Live Rebetiko Nights

Join us for authentic live performances featuring local talent and guest artists from Greece. These intimate shows often include audience participation, open jam segments, and classic Rebetiko songs from the 1920s to 1950s.

🎼 Bouzouki Workshops

Hosted monthly, our workshops focus on specific techniques, genres (like Laiko or Smyrneika), or composers. Instructors include NYC-based artists and visiting musicians from Greece.

📚 Cultural Seminars

Learn the stories behind the music. These sessions explore the history of Rebetiko, instrument evolution, lyrical analysis, and the sociopolitical context behind classic songs.

🎉 Open Jam Nights

Held at community venues in Astoria and Brooklyn, our jam nights are perfect for networking, playing casually, and building community through music.
