REVMA passionately displays the living art of traditional Greek music (“Dimotika”), to listening and dancing audiences. Mesmerizing pentatonic and polyphonic Epirot mountain laments and celebrations, lyrical melodies and the “springing” sousta and ballos dances of the Aegean, Dodekanese, and Ionian islands, powerful odd-metered Macedonian and Thracian rhythms, and the delicate modal tones of urban Smyrnaika, are all shaped by a history drenched in struggle, war, migration, resilience, and philotimia, and charged with Greek life-embracing passion and wit. Our musicians are: Rohan Gregory on violin, Glenn Dickson on clarinet, Fabio Pirozzolo on percussion, guitar, and voice, and Sandy Theodorou on laouto, accordion, and voice.
For this event, REVMA will showcase the anonymous song in Greek traditional island and mainland music, including newly “gathered” beauties from Crete, Macedonia, and Cyprus.
This concert will feature exquisite dance demonstrations by our very special guests:
Greg Kokkalis and Dawn Georgiadis
Greg and Dawn perform with the Boston Lykeion Ellinidon & Rathamanthus- Ide Cretan Chapter of Boston Dance troupes
Come for a spirited afternoon of beautiful music from different regions of Greece !
