Alexandros Karapanos

The American School of Classical Studies invites US ethnomusicologist Christopher King for a discussion on the violin in the traditional music of the Epirus region of northern Greece. The discussion will be accompanied by rare vinyl records from the early 20th century, as well as live renditions by violinists Kostas Karapanos, Aurel Qirjo and Marios Toumpas.

The Athens Concert Hall has gone digital, launching a series of podcasts featuring fascinating discussions on music with the likes of acclaimed pianist Janis Vakarelis, widely cited physicist Dimitris Nanopoulos and award-winning pianist Alexandra Papastefanou, though non-Greek speakers will probably find more joy in its concerts.
