20 years Estoudiantina Neas Ionias

Please, Stop Writing Me Letters…


This year marks a twenty-year anniversary for the Estoudiantina Neas Ionias ensemble, renowned for its contributions in the field of Mediterranean music. The orchestra will give a performance at the Odeon of Herodes Atticus, focusing on themes of unity, peace, and solidarity towards migrants and refugees: a heartrending music tour through songs from Southern European and Mediterranean countries – Greece, Italy, Portugal, and the Arab world – which have experienced displacement and uprooting. In 1998, Estoudiantina revived a 19th-century type of orchestra, creating and setting forth new forms of Greek music. The orchestra will be joined on stage by famous musicians and orchestras, including George Dalaras, who has been collaborating with the Estoudiantina for several years and produced its first albums. Also featuring: the unique music collective Encardia that focuses on Griko (Italiot Greek) music, singer-songwriter Leonidas Balafas, the traditional and rebetiko singer Aspasia Stratigou, and up-and-coming musician Marina Satti.
