“Kormós” (Album Release Presentation)

"Kormós" is the new album by Tasos Kofodimos and Yvonne Melissa, created in collaboration with Mahyar Tahmasbi (Iran) and Laia Escartin (Catalonia).

The album features eight compositions and one free improvisation, inspired by trees, myths, landscapes, and folk traditions. It is a musical meeting point between Greek traditional music, the Eastern Mediterranean soundscape, Persian music, and free improvisation.

Alongside the compositions from Kormós, the ensemble will also perform arrangements of traditional Greek pieces that have inspired and influenced them.

Melisma Piano Duo - “Echoes of the Folk”

An evening of four-hand piano music that explores how folk traditions, dance and storytelling have inspired composers across time and cultures. From the Norwegian landscapes of Grieg to the refined intimacy of Fauré, the rhythmic energy of Dvořák and Brahms and the inventive sound world of Ligeti, this programme offers a journey through different musical worlds.
