Description

Introduction to the music of Crete by Stelios Petrakis - August 29 - September 3, 2011
This seminar is tailored to students who, on the one hand, are at a beginner's level with regards to Cretan music and, on the other, to advanced musicians of other traditions who would like to become acquainted with the basic characteristics and repertoire of Cretan music. Certain very representative pieces will be worked on from all of the various regional idioms of the island
Stelios Petrakis belongs to the new generation of Greek musicians. Born into the Cretan musical tradition and having become one of the foremost masters of the Cretan lyra, he subsequently extended his musical interest to other related genres thus leading him to collaborate with many important Greek and foreign musicians.
He performs with his own ensemble in Greece as well as abroad and also works as a soloist with various respected composers and other musical ensembles both in concerts and recordings.
His two personal cds have received exceptional reviews and awards from the Greek and the international press.
The instruments he plays are constructed by Stelios himself and he also records his music in his own studio.
