November 2026: Jykä Ahola in Athens & My Upcoming Live Appearances
As has been our tradition every November for the past 4 years, our dear friend, Finnish trumpeter and composer Jykä Ahola, visits Athens for a series of concerts. I am delighted to be joining him on stage for 4 of these performances:
Saturday 14/11 | Concerto Cafe Artistic
Jykä Ahola (trumpet), Stefanos Kozanis (piano), and Lieber Panos / Panos Gerakakis (vocals).
A musical program featuring beloved tunes from the swing era and classic musicals, blending intimate, emotional ballads with upbeat, danceable rhythms.
Starting time: 21:00
⭐ Friday 20/11 | Theatre of the No
NEOS Quartet featuring: Jykä Ahola (trumpet), Stefanos Kozanis (piano), Chrysostomos Boukalis (double bass), and Nikos Sidirokastritis (drums).
The centerpiece performance of this Finnish-Greek collaboration. The newly formed quartet explores the atmospheric aesthetic of the ECM sound, presenting original compositions by Jykä Ahola and Stefanos Kozanis, alongside iconic pieces that shaped this distinctive style. Just a few days after the concert, the group will enter the studio to record their debut album, scheduled for release in 2027. A night of lyricism, tone colors, and deep musical synergy.
Starting time: 21:30
Thursday 26/11 | SPITI Art Bar
Nassia Gofa & The Jazz Tales Trio featuring Jykä Ahola:
Nassia Gofa’s jazz trio, featuring Stefanos Kozanis (piano) and Kostas Patsiotis (double bass), joins forces with Jykä Ahola for a unique tribute to the legendary jazz vocalist Helen Merrill.
