Alkistis Protopsalti, the uniquely talented performer who always surprises us with her musical offerings, after her sold-out performances and rave reviews in March at the Athens Concert Hall - which were interrupted due to the coronavirus - reunites with the exceptional composer Andreas Katsigiannis and the Estoudiantina Orchestra of Nea Ionia, bringing to the Odeon of Herodes Atticus melodies with a strong aroma of the East, songs from her musical journey that perfectly match the wonderful sounds of tradition and the Mediterranean! On Tuesday, September 15, we will embark on this wonderful musical caravan, featuring the santouri – the stringed, percussion, flat musical instrument with its unique sound – along with strings, percussion, and winds, to enjoy the unique Alkistis in completely different interpretations. “I was born in Alexandria, Egypt, so the colors, aromas, and sounds of the East are unforgettable childhood images that often revive in my artistic life. The sounds of this Orchestra awaken memories and transport me from yesterday to today in a magical way.” - Alkistis CREATIVE TEAM: Andreas Katsigiannis | santouri, vocals Kyriakos Gouventas | violin Stavros Kouskouridas | clarinet, kaval, flute Dimos Bougioukas | accordion Filippos Retsios | piano, vocals Apostolos Valaroutsos | guitar, vocals Kostas Gedikis | bouzouki, lafta, mandolin Kostas Konstantinou | double bass Nikos Samaras | trumpet Andreas Papas | percussion Kostas Meretakis | percussion Artistic direction of Estoudiantina | Andreas Katsigiannis Arrangements | Andreas Katsigiannis & Estoudiantina Sound engineering | Zacharias Stamoulos, Nikos Delistathis PRODUCTION ORGANIZATION: Tonia Dragouni CO-PRODUCTION: Gazarte Reviews for the performance: Maria Avramidou / Musiccorner.gr “a program characterized by passion, balance, and perfection.
