Two Guitars, One Church – Limakis & Levendopoulos in Virtuoso Dialogue

Witness a breathtaking clash of guitar mastery as Giorgos Limakis and Apostolos Levendopoulos face off in an electrifying acoustic guitar duel in the candlelit intimacy of Vlatos Music Hall—the historic 150-year-old stone church in the serene mountain village of Vlatos, western Crete. Giorgos Limakis, known for his fiery technique, deep Cretan roots, and explosive improvisational flair, meets Apostolos Levendopoulos, a guitarist celebrated for his lyrical precision, harmonic sophistication, and jazz-informed phrasing. Together they create a dynamic conversation of strings: rapid-fire runs, intricate counterpoint, call-and-response phrases, and moments of breathtaking unison.Expect a thrilling blend of flamenco-inspired rasgueados, Cretan rhythmic drive, jazz chord-melody explorations, bluesy bends, and spontaneous improvisations—all delivered acoustically with no amplification. The church’s legendary natural acoustics let every pick stroke, harmonic, and string bend resonate with crystal clarity under Cretan starlight.
