Project Πatriδa- Online Lectures’ Cycle

The Department of Music Studies of Aristotle University of Thessaloniki and ‘Voci Contra Tempo’ Female Vocal Ensemble (ensemble-in-residence of the Music Studies Department) are jointly organizing a series of four (4) lectures (online), as part of Choral Music Composition Workshop within the framework of “Project ‘Πatriδa’”.

The main purpose of the lectures is to introduce Greek musicians to some of the most significant living composers of choral music, most of whom have immense choral experience as both conductors as well as singers, with extensive repertoires, recording catalogues, and numerous awards in choral competitions. The invited composers will each give a three-hour online lecture, analyzing their work. Lectures will be held via Zoom.
