Introduction
Composers and musicologists from almost every Mediterranean country will be in Athens to develop a constructive dialogue around the region’s musical identity today.
The conference will combine sound and speech, exploring the thinking and music that are molding the musical identity of the Mediterranean today: a complex identity in which discrete traditions interact and in which the relationship between tradition and modernity is more than a fault line, providing composers with a fruitful field to process in their practice.
The conference will end with an exhilarating concert on Thursday 19 February. Held in the Main Stage of the Onassis Stegi, the event concert will feature works by Mediterranean composers including Giorgos Koumentakis, Dimitris Skyllas, Gianvincenzo Cresta, Zeynep Gedizlioğlu, Zad Moultaka, Saed Haddad, all performed by the outstanding KYKLOS ENSEMBLE.
