VILLAGE OF PEACE AND CULTURE – ΧΟΡΙΟ ΕΙΡΙΝΙΣ ΚΑΙ ΠΟΛΙΤΙΣΜΟΣ
“Meet Meλos – a killer string quartet straight out of Chania, Crete! Two violins, a viola, and a cello, all orbiting the genius of Maria Manousaki. They’ll whisk you from the rugged White Mountains to the stunning blue seas of Crete – a musical ride you won’t forget!”
The Meλos string Quartet, a vibrant multicultural group, brings together talented musicians with rich backgrounds in both classical and jazz traditions. Derived from the ancient Greek word for “melody,” the quartet transcends genre boundaries to create a unique, emblematic musical experience. Specializing in various styles, they promise to take the audience on a captivating journey through time, weaving melodies from legendary composers like Cole Porter, Nino Rota, Astor Piazzolla, and Ennio Morricone. Each performance is a harmonious blend of styles, paying homage to timeless music and awakening the spirit of a bygone era through a contemporary lens.
