THE LAMENT’S MYRRH (TOU MOIROLOGIOU TO MYRO)
Organizer: THESSALONIKI CONCERT HALL
A soul-stirring musical journey through laments, across time and places
A thematic concert dedicated to the tradition of the lament as encountered in Greek folk songs, tracing its origins from the music composition inscribed on the funerary stele of the Seikilos Epitaph.
Under the artistic direction of Giorgos Kotsinis, a distinguished ensemble of musicians will present the evolution of lament from mournful sighs and women's funeral dirges to its fully developed and independent form as an improvised musical expression.
