ERT Contemporary Music Orchestra & Polis Ensemble – Hallelujah

Chóres return to the scene with five new songs, composed and arranged by Alexandros Kapsokavadis, which are inspired by the anonymous musical traditions of the Mediterranean, the Balkans, Central Europe and the Caucasus. The combination of these musicians with lyrics from Greek folk poetry and, more specifically, from Corfu, Kasos, Crete or the Messinian Mani, will take us on a journey to familiar sounds, touching on timeless themes such as lost love, love, fate and lullaby.
