Building Bridges
Friday 28 November 2025
PLYFA

You are cordially invited to Building Bridges to Greece (BBG), the first cycle of which presents four new works for solo bassoon by daring composers based in the USA and Europe. This music performance includes electronics, lights and musiktheater, in an original spectacle. The music of Stratis Minakakis, Konstantinos Baras, Michalis Paraskakis and Niki Harlafti draws inspiration from their Greek heritage and contemporary Greek reality: from the transcendence of ancient Greek hymns and temples, philosophy and mythology, to the challenges of life in modern Greece.
Building Bridges to Greece (BBG) is a global initiative by virtuoso German-American bassoonist Ben Roidl-Ward and Greek composer Niki Harlafti aiming to promote Greek composers internationally, through the commission and presentation of exciting contemporary classical works and multimedia performances involving the bassoon.
A brief, open discussion with the creative team will follow.
Michalis Paraskakis, Elephant's foot or Pyriphlegethon
Stratis Minakakis, ...hypnon apo glefaron skedasei glykyn...
Konstantinos Baras, Allegory
