Τhe musical performance “Resonances” offers a unique musical journey through the collaboration of the two musical ensembles, the “Lyra Quartet” (Socrates Sinopoulos: Chrysanthi Gika, Demosthenes Karachristodoulou, Stratis Psaradellis) and the vocal ensemble “Kalesma” (Paris Parashos: vocals, Anastasia Zakynthinou:vocals, Vasilis Filippou: vocals and percussion, Frederiki Tompazou: vocals, Savvas Lagou: vocals, Katerina Parashou: vocals).

Led by the internationally acclaimed musician Socrates Sinopoulos, the four lyres create a unique polyphonic sound, highlighting the variety of techniques and styles of the Politiki Lyra, while the six-voice Vocal Ensemble “Kalesma” serves as a living vehicle of Cypriot and Greek tradition through polyphonic approaches.

The performance will emphasize the original musical compositions of the two ensembles. Through this collaboration, tradition is presented not as a static element, but as a constantly evolving creative process, highlighting the connection between historical memory and contemporary artistic expression, with an emphasis on Cypriot musical identity and its interconnection with the Greek cultural sphere as a bridge of communication.
