Manolakis, Sinopoulos, Sidirokastritis: A Musical Encounter at Theatre of the NO
Some concerts don’t fit neatly into one genre, and that’s what makes them special. On Thursday, November 26 at 21:00, Giorgis Manolakis, Sokratis Sinopoulos and Nikos Sidirokastritis take the stage together at Theatre of the NO. The night brings together the Cretan tradition, the music of the Eastern Mediterranean and Greek jazz.
Three friends, three paths
The three musicians come from different backgrounds but share a love of creating music. The program is built on their own compositions and leaves room for improvisation and creative interplay. That way, every moment of the night is written right there on stage.
