Euterpe Collective brings women in Greek music together for first meeting

·

Sunday, March 16 at The Pontiaki Estia will be the inaugural meeting of the Euterpe Collective, a network of women working as professionals in Greek music in Melbourne. 

Created by singer and instrumentalist, Stavroula Thomopoulos and violinist Katerina Stevens, the first event will be a special music-making session focusing on repertoire from Asia Minor and featuring songs by important female singers of the genre, such as Katerina Papadopoulou, Domna Samiou, Rita Abatzi and Rosa Eskenazi.

Stavroula and Katerina are both members of trio Nea Skoupa, who specialise in Mikrasiatika, the music of Asia Minor and have held a weekly residency at Greek restaurant Odyssey in Elwood for the last year and a half.   

Stavroula and Katerina perform a vast range of Greek music genres, Stavroula performing Etexna in her own group and traditional music with band Omados, while Katerina has a focus on Nisiotika and Rebetika with band Anatreptix.

Both women agree that the intention behind this collective is to be a support network for each other, to encourage collaborations and give younger women an opportunity to be mentored by older, more experienced musicians and most importantly to learn from each other.The event is free.
