Isadora and a chorus of Greek boys

During the pilgrimage to the Grece Isadora once heard a beautiful voice of a child and then the other two voices joined to that one. For good singing,the dancer decided to give to boy coins , which led to increasing number of boys. At that moment she came up with idea to resurrect the ancient Greece chorus. With a help of contest she took 10 most vociferous boys. Also Isadora hired a seminarian who was proffesor of Byzantine music to teach those children choruses of "The Suppliants" Aeschylus. Duncan dressed them with sandals and tunics.
