A concert specially designed for 2023 Eleusis European Capital of Culture in the framework of the Aeschylia Festival, combining two of the popular musical ensemble’s programmes, Invariants and Okho. Invariants is a programme for a keyboard and percussion trio, in which Rain Tree (1981) by Tōru Takemitsu and Les Invariants (2021) by Michaël Levinas are interspersed between three trio sonatas for organ by Johann Sebastian Bach. Okho, composed by Iannis Xenakis on the occasion of the bicentenary of the French Revolution and scored for three musicians playing djembe, is a work that strikes a rare balance between the visceral and the cerebral, creating a kind of tribal modernism.
Founded in 1962, the Percussions de Strasbourg are world-renowned ambassadors of musical creation. Their exceptional repertoire includes 20th century masterpieces, their own compositions, as well as more than 350 works, written especially for them. 60 years after their founding, and having received around 30 international awards, they continue to innovate, travelling all around the world in major international festivals in Berlin, Osaka, Persepolis, Sydney and New York.
Further Info
2023 Eleusis European Capital of Culture is setting up a three-day celebration to say goodbye to the Belgian collective TimeCircus that returns to Antwerp after six months and to hand over – now officially – ARKOPOLIS, the ark of eternal youth, this unique cultural space to young people and to the residents of Elefsina.
2023 Εleusis European Capital of Culture presents from the 4th until the 7th of October, for the first time together, the artistic projects of the trilogy Mystery 13 I_LEFT, conceived and directed by Yolanda Markopoulou, completing a multi-year long artistic research, focused on refugee, uprooting and starting over at a new place.
Mystery 42 Futuring Waters’ exhibition and parallel events introduces us to the artworks created through a process of co-authorship initiated by the artist and educator Jenny Marketou with the help of Greek and international scientists, artists, curators, architects, archaeologists and activists among others around water rights and hydropolitics, a complex political thought around water.
