Type of seminar: Open - Music Group

Level of participants: Intermediate

Sight reading: Helpful not necessary

The seminar will focus on songs & melodies from various Greek music traditions, urban or not, which are related to the Turkish style of music and the theory of makam. This repertoire is primarily popular and reflects the way the eastern & Turkish style of music was incorporated in various local music traditions, in multiple interpretations and versions.
The immigrants’ songs from Istanbul & Izmir, the karsilamas & the antikistos (“be across, opposite, face-to-face”) dance from Thrace & Macedonia, the alipasalidika of Epirus with the similar Xiromeritika & Prevezianika are some of the seminar’s topics.
The repertoire will be studied by a music ensemble which is addressed to singers and musicians of wind & string instruments & percussionists.
Through this music ensemble the members will interact between them & will interpret these music traditions in a personal creative way .
