Hello! It is a pleasure\u00a0to announce you the collaboration that has just started between Mapamundi M\u00fasica and Medigrecian.\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

\n
Which is the objective?<\/strong><\/h5>\n

It is\u00a0to design and make available a versatile offer of high artistry of Greek music, incorporating in addition to the concerts, also activities that allow the public to participate actively in this cultural legacy.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

What is Medigrecian?<\/strong><\/h5>\n

It is the brand name created by Alkis Zopoglou to encompass his various artistic projects, which range from the Rodopi Ensemble, focusing on traditional Greek Thracian styles, to the Kontrabando Ensemble and its contemporary approach to Balkan music, to the collaboration with oudist Marina Lintou Mochament.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Who is Alkis Zopoglou?<\/strong><\/h5>\n
\n

I first met Alkis Zopoglou through his Mediterranean music festival<\/a>\u00a0in Switzerland. This is one of his facets, that of festival director.<\/p>\n

It was only later that I got to know his artistic side and it was precisely his\u00a0Rodopi Ensemble<\/a>\u00a0that enchanted me: popular Greek music, with a traditional flavour, performed with that differential subtlety of someone who has grown up with this music in his environment as much as with his mother tongue.<\/p>\n

Apart from Rodopi Ensemble, Alkis leads several artistic projects which we will report on in this and future communications.<\/p>\n

In 2019 Alkis was also appointed as artistic director of the\u00a0Cosmopolis Festival<\/a>\u00a0in Kavala, his hometown.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

You can find Alkis’ extended bio below.<\/p>\n
