Overview
Music of Greece: The Past is Present explores what we know—and what we only think we know— about the music of Greece. In this three-part series, learn how incomplete fragments of papyrus and stone provide clues to recreating music that has not been heard for thousands of years; discover the influence of the ancient Greeks on classical music, opera and contemporary jazz; and join contemporary Greek musicians and scholars as they discuss the numerous cultural and historical influences that have contributed to the music of today’s Greece.
Suggested Use
In this series, you will hear three episodes that each explores a different aspect of Greek music—the reconstructed music of ancient Greece; the influence of Greece on contemporary Western music; and the diverse influences on the music of today’s Greece.
