Cephalonia or Kefalonia (Greek: Κεφαλονιά or Κεφαλλονιά), formerly also known as Kefallinia or Kephallenia (Κεφαλληνία), is the largest of the Ionian Islands[1] in western Greece and the 6th largest island in Greece after Crete, Evoia, Lesbos, Rhodes, and Chios. It is also a separate regional unit of the Ionian Islands region, and the only municipality of the regional unit. It was also a former Latin Catholic diocese Kefalonia–Zakynthos (Cefalonia–Zante) and short-lived titular see as just Kefalonia.
An aition explaining the name of Cephallenia and reinforcing its cultural connections with Athens associates the island with the mythological figure of Cephalus, who helped Amphitryon of Mycenae in a war against the Taphians and Teleboans.[3] He was rewarded with the island of Same, which thereafter came to be known as Cephallenia.
Kefalonia has also been suggested as the Homeric Ithaca, the home of Odysseus, rather than the smaller island bearing this name today. Robert Bittlestone, in his book Odysseus Unbound, has suggested that Paliki, now a peninsula of Cephalonia, was a separate island during the late Bronze Age, and it may be this which Homer was referring to when he described Ithaca. A project which started in the Summer of 2007 and lasted three years has examined this possibility.[4]
Kefalonia is also referenced in relation to the goddess Britomartis, as the location where she is said to have ‘received divine honours from the inhabitants under the name of Laphria‘.
Cephalonia as part of the “seven islands “ complex, followed a different path in history than the rest of the Greek region. the strong presence and rule of Venetian republic since 1204 and the successive changes of infuencer powers like British and French till it’s inderependance in 1836 gave to this region a western European direction into it’s cultural and development.
The development of opera houses and theaters , the presence of orchestas great European composers and musicians mainly from Italy but not only it’s a consequence of this rule.
The people of Cephalonia as in all the seven islands grew up with the sounds of orchestras and opera in their ears, they loved and they still do opera and singing , a part of cephalonian tradition is the
“arietas “ witch is basically improvised choral pieces , the ability of simple non musically educated people to create harmonies and counterpointed lines following a simple lead melody in an improvised manner it’s a consequence of centuries of musical development on that region. It’s not accidental that most of the Major Greek classical composers oriented from this region. Classical Music it is part of the culture of Cephalonia with strong presence in the life of every Cephalonian till nowadays.
The facilities of the historical “ philharmonic school of Cephalonia” located in the very center of the islands capital “ Argostoli “ a building of 1.000 sq meters with all the necessary musical equipment , 10 practising rooms , 1 big concert hall and 1 open air theater , are ready to accommodate the musical endeavors of the students and associates of MJS summer academy.
“Filarmoniki scholi Kefalinias” is the 2nd oldest musical educational institute in modern Greece witch it’s founding years dates back in 1838 it has played a major role in the music development of the people of Cephalonia and therefore in whole Greece as it became the prototype for the development of Major educational institutes such as the ”Athens conservatory” witch had been founded 33 years later.
The last 182 years the uninterrupted operation of this institute offers a great service into the music education and makes” filarmoniki scholi kefalinias” a rather historical institute
