    ·

    Some day in the future, Eleni Sikelianos will need no introduction. Great-granddaughter of the five-time Nobel candidate Angelos Sikelianos and the choreographer and Delphic Festival revivalist Eva Palmer-Sikelianos and herself a recipient of fellowships from the NEA and the Fulbright Program, Sikelianos’s artistic credentials should be clearly established from the start.
