Aeschylus’ “Persae” at SPITI Art Bar – First Live Presentation of the Music - Sunday, March 29

The music composed by Stefanos Kozanis for the theatrical production “Aeschylus’ Persae – A Rite, Prayer and Service of the Passions of the Persians”, directed and performed by Phaedon Kastris, will be presented live for the first time at SPITI Art Bar.

Following its recent digital release, the musicians from the original recording —Nektarios Stamatelos (ney), Stefanos Kozanis (piano), Chrysostomos Boukalis (double bass), and Nikos Siderokastritis (drums)— bring the work's unique soundscape to the stage. This is a mystical fusion of traditional ney sounds with the universal language of jazz, attempting to bring the listener closer to our own "Salamis."

Phaedon Kastris himself will be present during the evening, giving us the opportunity to share thoughts on the "Rite" performed at Fourno Theatre (where performances continue every Wednesday until April 22). A special gathering where music converses with the spirit of the play, dedicated to us—the "Persians" of this world—through inspiration and spirituality.
