We can not wait for this event!!!

The Greeks are known for so many great things- their history, contributions to modern art and language, beautiful country and fantastic food, their love of life and about a million other things…

EuroCircle Chicago is extremely pleased to be hosting the Greek Chicago Film Festival kick off event with our very special co-host www.dailyfrappe.com.

We will be hosting this year’s event at the beatiful VENUS restaurant (www.venuschicago.com) in Greektown for a taste of the best Greek-Cypriot food, fun- and of course dancing- possible this side of the Mediterranean!

About Jazz
The history of jazz music origins is usually attributed to the turn of the century New Orleans. There are so many styles of jazz from bepop, hot jazz to classic jazz. My personal favorites have always been the smoky, sexy tunes from Louis Armstrong, Billy Holliday, Ella Fitzgerald, Diane Washington, Duke Ellington, Charlie Parker..very romantic. The saxophones and piano..the natural good feeling comes from inside you
