As is usual with such Kytherian professorial visits, impromptu luncheons and auxilliary events will inevitably be arranged - so keep in contact with members of the excecutive Committee of the Kytherian Association of Australia, for information about these functions.

In particular we are seeking an opportunity for Professor George Leontsinis to conduct a NSW book launch, amongst Kytherians, of his 2007 book, the biography of eminent Greek-Australian musician, Nicholas Leontsinis.
