‘Greek Music On Six Strings’ to premiere in Sydney with Manolis Androulidakis

·

The Greek Festival of Sydney has announced the eagerly awaited performance of the esteemed Greek musician and composer Manolis Androulidakis, live at the Verbrugghen Hall of the Conservatorium of Music in Sydney on Sunday 17 March 2024 at 5pm.

He will be performing ‘Greek Music On Six Strings’, a captivating acoustic music recital concert.

Directly from the heart of Greece, Androulidakis is set to captivate audiences with his virtuosity on the six strings, presenting an exceptional acoustic music recital concert. This one-of-a-kind event promises an evening of cultural celebration, spotlighting the rich heritage and musical traditions of Greece.

Renowned as a classical guitar virtuoso and composer, Androulidakis unveils a ground-breaking project with works by Greek composers adapted to the classical guitar. He presents an alternative guitar that aims to trick the ear of the listener, creating the illusion that he is listening to two guitars, a bouzouki or even a larger music ensemble.

Starting with his personal album “Myrtia” (2016), the official international release of Mikis Theodorakis for solo guitar, the collection “Greek Cinema Music for Classical Guitar” (2019) and his newest album “Anthology for Guitar” (2021), he presents a heretical repertoire with moments of exceptional craftsmanship from Zorbas’ dance to the Greek cinema themes – with worldwide tunes of Greek composers to the inconceivable solos of Chiotis and the music of Savvopoulos, Loizos, Xarchakos, Zambetas, Leontis and Peridis.

Androulidakis is among the greatest Greek musicians – hence was chosen to record a CD for the series “Famous Greek Soloists” (FM Records 2016.) He is renowned for the use of particular guitar techniques, such as tremolo–apoyando and pulgar tremolo.

With sophisticated taste, he comprehends as a performer how to permeate into the essence of the compositions, displaying his exemplary skills with rare coherence and a perfect executive style.
