Tribute to Jani Christou – “Epicycle”: Educational Workshop Celebrating 100 Years Since the Birth of the Greek Composer

As part of the events marking 100 years since the birth of the Greek composer Jani Christou (1926–1970), the Department of Music Studies of the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens, presents on May 22 the educational workshop Epicycle, based on the composer’s 1968 performance work of the same title.

The preparation draws upon the composer’s instructions and notes, as well as his own stage concepts regarding the participation of musical ensembles, dance-theatre happenings, the use of multimedia, improvisation, and more. The project brings together musical ensembles – including jazz, traditional music, vocal ensemble, and improvisation groups – alongside other performers.
