This 1928 gathering of Mr Mastrogeorgiou and friends, complete with guitar, violin, mandolin and appreciative audience, took place in one of the first Greek enclaves in New Zealand: the Wellington suburb of Mt Victoria. A decade later the first Greek school teaching the language and customs would open in the same area. Until the late 20th century Mt Victoria remained a Greek heartland.
