Coordination & coaching: Martha Mavroeidi

"Ten to one: tradition today"

Ten virtuoso musicians, most of whom came to prominence in the broad range of ‘traditional’ idioms and share a common experience: their immersion in the sound of today through their personal and very different ventures into composition and solo improvisation.

"Seven Tears"

John Dowland’s work meets the world music tradition of Constantinople as an English Renaissance viol consort joins forces for the first time with historic instruments of the Levant. The works played are linked by fragments from compositions by George Koumentakis and instrumental improvisations hinging on the musical rhetoric and style of these two different worlds
Andreas Linos, Electra Miliadou, Iason Ioannou, Dimitris Tingas, Nikoleta Hatzopoulou: violas da gamba // Socrates Sinopoulos: Constantinopolitan lyre // Evgenios Voulgaris, Giannis Messalas: yali tambour // Sergios Voulgaris: percussion // Thodoris Kitsos: Renaissance lute
