VILLAGE OF PEACE AND CULTURE – ΧΟΡΙΟ ΕΙΡΙΝΙΣ ΚΑΙ ΠΟΛΙΤΙΣΜΟΣ
“Vlatos Jazz is proud to present TETRAIXO – that’s ‘four sounds’ in Greek, and trust me, this quartet delivers a sonic explosion! Leading the charge is the unstoppable Maria Manousaki, a violin virtuoso who’s conquered stages from New York to Crete. She’s joined by two master violinists, Michalis Loufardakis and Markos Renieris, both hailing from Western Crete’s rich musical tradition, their bows slicing through the air like lightning. Rounding out this powerhouse crew is Kyriakos Stavrianoudakis, Crete’s most legendary lute player, whose fingers weave magic into every note. Together, they’re cooking up a storm of jazz-infused world music, blending Cretan soul with wild improvisation. Set in the ancient, open-air Vlatos Jazz Venue under the stars, this is one of Chania’s brightest gems – a night of four sounds that’ll hit you like a tidal wave!”
This performance promises to showcase the group’s unique synergy, with Manousaki’s global jazz flair meeting the deep-rooted mastery of her fellow Cretan musicians, all amplified by the intimate, atmospheric setting of Vlatos!
The cultural society of Vlatos presents throughout the year a variety of events. Tickets for the events are available online with PayPal or for cold hard cash at the venue on the night of your choosing.
