The Hellenic Project, under the artistic direction of Dimitris Papadimitriou, continues to support fresh works of Greek songwriting, commissioning young artists to compose original pieces. The Contemporary Music and Poetry Cycle provides a platform for new songs commissioned from both established and emerging composers. It presents new series of songs inspired by poetic texts drawn from the international literary canon, on themes selected by the Hellenic Project.
A major event of historic importance for the Greek world – with a focus here on its poetic dimensions, with past truths captured by iconic historical poems – is made a musical reality in the present day and brought to the fore in ways that spring, unconstrained, from genuine feeling.
Songs performed by the vocalists Veronica Davaki, Apostolos Kitsos, and Vasilis Gisdakis.
