Under the guidance of †Father George and Presvytera Anna Gallos, the Southeastern Federation is made up of individual member choirs of the Metropolis of Atlanta that includes the states of Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina and Tennessee. These Orthodox choirs, like others all over the nation, have joined together and through the medium of annual conferences, district workshops, area gatherings, and special programs have strengthened the quality of Greek Orthodox Church music. Each member choir participates and plays a major role in a variety of musical activities as well as having a vote in all matters brought before the Federation Council. Officers are elected at the annual conference.

In addition, the Federation shall establish a liaison with the Metropolis of Atlanta to further recognize the important role of music in the church. Federation goals are listed below:

• To enlighten and improve the spiritual and musical background of choir personnel, clergy, chanters and Greek Orthodox faithful.

• To promote the establishment of music education programs at all levels.

• To provide assistance to local churches in organizational matter pertaining to choir development.

• To encourage development, composition, publication, and performance of Greek Orthodox sacred and Greek folk music.

• To offer workshops, choir schools, and annual conferences to develop musical skills.
