“Sounds of Solidarity” by Echo Mediterra for Mediterranean Day
Tuesday November 28th, at 20:00
at “Evanthia Kairi” theatre
Free Entrance
The Akropoditi Dance & Performing Arts Centre, and the Municipality of Syros-Ermoupolis as a co-organiser, participate in the Day of the Mediterranean with the band Echo Mediterra and the music concert “Sounds of Solidarity” on November 28th at 20:00, at the theatre “Evanthia Kairi”, with free entrance. The concert is part of the events of the Anna Lindh Foundation.
November 28th is the Day of the Mediterranean, a day to acknowledge our shared identity and common heritage. To honor this day, the Anna Lindh Foundation selects a number of organisations each year to host community-based musical performances simultaneously across the 42 Mediterranean countries. We’re honored to be a part of it.
This year, our music goes beyond just a performance; it’s a heartfelt expression of unity and genuine attempt to connect people through the universal language of music. Our music will bridge our pain and sorrow, spreading the sounds of solidarity.
Echo Mediterra consists of Apostolos Maris (cannon), Maria Plumi (lute), Georgia Litsa (santouri) and Eftychia Panopoulou (singing), four musicians who live on the island of Syros and are involved in traditional and ethnic music. They have known each other for several years, while their musical exploration of Mediterranean sounds and their desire to create is fresh and ambitious. They collaborate in performances and concerts of mainly traditional music with other musicians, but they like to incorporate multicultural elements of music whenever they get the chance, through their experiences and knowledge. The band is united by the members’ love of music, improvisation and the constant exploration of new musical elements.
With a repertoire ranging from traditional songs and Arabic rhythms to the tarantellas of Southern Italy and songs of the Greek East, “Echo Mediterra” echoes the rich diversity of Mediterranean cultures.
