Seikilo Ancient World Music

SEIKILO – a private Museum of Ancient Music located in the heart of Thessaloniki – is the world's first interactive museum where visitors can engage with all exhibited artifacts, listen to the sounds of ancient instruments, and enjoy a premium hands-on experience at the end of the guided tour. Each tour is led by a professional lyre player, making pre-booking essential for visiting the museum. Back in 2014, the Koumartzis family—a family of musicians dedicated to preserving and promoting Greece’s musical heritage (both ancient and modern)—was inspired by the master’s thesis of Nikolaos Koumartzis (co-founder and R&D&I director) to establish LUTHIEROS Musical Instruments (https://luthieros.com/). This Lyre Workshop has since become a global leader in reconstructing fully functional replicas of ancient musical instruments, reviving the cultural legacy of Greece, Rome, Egypt, and beyond. The majority of these unique artifacts are showcased at the SEIKILO Museum. To date, LUTHIEROS instruments have been exhibited in over 50 countries, featured in productions such as Vikings (2024) and Ben-Hur (2016), and embraced by international music communities. The company also operates the LYRE ACADEMY (https://lyreacademy.com/) —an online educational institution specializing in the study and practice of ancient musical heritage. All of this has been made possible through the relentless efforts of LUTHIEROS Musical Instruments, which, beyond its global leadership in instrument reconstruction, boasts an experienced in-house RESEARCH, DEVELOPMENT & INNOVATION (RDI) TEAM (https://seikilo.com/first-page/research-programs/).Over the years, this team has successfully participated in and implemented national and EU-funded research projects, collaborating with institutions such as the International Hellenic University, the CERTH, and the University of British Columbia. Its areas of interest include CCIs, VR & AR technologies, audio engineering, and sustainable tourism.

Hellenic Center Of Dance & Performing Arts Texnh Xrw

Το Ελληνικό Κέντρο Χορού & Παραστατικών Τεχνών ΤΕΧΝΗ ΧΡΩ είναι ένας χώρος ελεύθερης καλλιτεχνικής έκφρασης κ δημιουργίας. Ο χορός είναι μαγεία… τα πάντα στο σύμπαν έχουν ρυθμό, τα πάντα χορεύουν! Από τα πανάρχαια χρόνια ο χορός υπήρξε το σύμβολο της συνειδητής παρουσίας της ζωής. Με όργανο το ανθρώπινο σώμα, αποτελεί περισσότερο μύηση, τελετή και συμμετοχή, παρά θέαμα. Οι άνθρωποι ανά τους αιώνες χόρεψαν τον πόλεμο, την ειρήνη, το γάμο, το θερισμό, τη σπορά… χόρεψαν τη φύση. Ο χορός λένε μεταμορφώνει με μια δύναμη που υπερβαίνει το νόημα των λέξεων και αποτελεί ένα θαυμάσιο δώρο των Θεών προς τον άνθρωπο. Αυτήν ακριβώς την μαγεία και χαρά θέλουμε να διασπείρουμε και να μοιραστούμε με όσους επιλέξουν να μυηθούν στα μονοπάτια της ελευθερίας. Ο χορός έχει την δύναμη να μεταμορφώσει ένα χορευτή από συγκροτημένο εγγλέζο αριστοκράτη, σε macho βραζιλιάνο εραστή, παθιασμένο κουβανέζο ή Έλληνα νησιώτη. Γιατί να ασχοληθείτε με τον χορό;* Τον άνθρωπο που χορεύει έιναι έυκολο να καταλάβει κανείς απο το περπάτημα, την αυτοπεποίθηση, την ίσια πλάτη, το ωραίο στήσιμο.* Ο χορός αναπτύσει όχι μόνο το σώμα αλλά και την ικάνότητα να νιώθετε την μουσική, το ρυθμό, τον περτενέρ, την ομάδα που χορεύει.* Ο χορός χαρίζει νεότητα! Πάντα είναι δύσκολο να καταλάβει κανείς την πραγματική ηλικία των χορευτών. Είναι γνωστό πως ο άνθρωπος δείχνει αυτήν την ηλικία την οποία αισθάνεται.* Ο άνθρωπος που χορεύει είναι μάστορας επικοινωνίας. Μοναξιά, κόμπλεξ, φοβία καινούργιας γνωριμίας είναι ανύπαρκτα γι'αυτόν.* Οι ψυχολόγοι και οι υπηρεσίες γνωριμιών μπορούν να ξεκουράζονται γιατί χορεύοντας το στρές πέφτει στο μηδέν και γνωριζόμαστε με εύκολο και φυσικό τρόπο.* Αν είστε γονείς και θέλετε το παιδί σας να πάρει σωστή ανάπτυξη, τότε κάντε την σωστή επιλογή. Ο χορός βοηθάει στην σωματική ανάπτυξη, μαθαίνει πειθαρχεία και καλούς τρόπους."Τέχνη Χρώ στα αρχαία ελληνικά σημαίνει να Ασκείς την Τέχνη" Με ιδιαίτερη αγάπη και αφοσίωση στην προώθηση και μεταλαμπάδευση των παραστατικών τεχνών του Χορού

Εθνικό Θέατρο National Theatre Of Greece

Greece's first state theatre company was the Royal Theatre, which was founded in 1901 and operated until 1908. It was reestablished under the name National Theatre in 1930 and opened for the public in March 1932. The National Theatre of Greece, during its 90 years of existence, has succeeded in creating a powerful theatrical tradition. The repertory of the National Theatre aims at polyphony, promoting a dialogue between tradition, present and future. The revival of Ancient Greek Drama remains a key area of interest for the National Theatre in an effort to combine respect for tradition with new trends. In 1938 the National Theatre of Greece performed its first open-air production of ancient drama, Sophocles’ Electra; the first performance after centuries at the Ancient Theatre of Epidaurus. In 1955 the NTG established the Festival of Epidaurus. Today, there are six venues in the National Theatre in Ziller Building, in Rex Theatre and the School of Athens – Irene Papas (open-air venue). The National Theatre is always open to collaborations with theatres and artists - tours, joint productions with major theatres abroad, participation in international festivals, educational programs, invitations to important contemporary artists; these are all part of the effort to broaden an already established network. Since 2009 the NTG has also been a member of the European Theatre’s Union. The Artistic Director of the National Theatre of Greece is the dramaturg – translator Erie Kyrgia.
