Third Programme - Julietta Karori - Ex Silentio

Nymphs, Elves, Fairies, and Shepherds
Works by Monteverdi, Purcell, Blow, Handel

  A musical performance inspired by the legendary creatures of the Baroque era. The early music ensemble Ex Silentio, conducted by flautist Dimitris Kountouras, together with mezzo-soprano Theodora Baka and storyteller Julietta Karori, will spin a tale of nymphs, fairies, and shepherds through songs, music, and narratives of a time long past. The Ex Silentio ensemble was formed in 2001, focusing exclusively on early music and historic re-interpretations. The ensemble has collaborated with notable artists such as Savina Yannatou and Michael Chance. They have given chamber music performances in Greece and in various festivals abroad, and recorded albums for German companies Talanton and Carpe Diem. Their album Memory claimed the Supersonic award of the Pizzicato magazine and was a nominee at the International Classical Music Awards.
