Polyphonéa *
A “Workshop of Greek Traditional Music” will take place once per month in the cozy environment of ‘Art Base’ with the main idea of creating a new music ensemble in Brussels. An ensemble inspired by the Greek tradition and the musical elements that keep it alive till now, under the guidance of Panos Skouteris.
Briefly, the aim is to educate and share general & technical knowledge about the instrumental approach and the functionality of the different instruments in the many musical expressions of Greece’s traditional music, all this within the structure of a music ensemble. The repertoire of the workshops for this year will be around the musical traditions of the mainland and mountainous Greece's countryside.

A few words about Panos Skouteris
Panos Skouteris was born and raised in Athens in 1997. He started clarinet studies at the age of 12. He studied with the most well-known clarinet players in Greece, such as Petro-Loukas Chalkias, Nikos Filippidis, Alexandros Arkadopoulos etc. Simultaneously, he started studying the Greek type of bagpipes, Thracian & Macedonian gajda and Cycladian & Dodecanesian tsambouna. His interest in older music textures led him to begin his second Bachelor's in Codarts - at the University of Applied Sciences in Rotterdam, focusing on the performing styles and the historical background of Classical Ottoman Music.
