Stefanos Kozanis Newsletter 28/5 - OdeSeas first official presentation
Dear friends,
I am delighted to invite you to the first official presentation of my new project, "OdeSeas", next Thursday, June 4th at 21:00, at Concerto Café Artistic.
It is a solo piano suite inspired by Homer's Odyssey, its seas, and its archetypal female figures. Joining me on stage will be Christina Politou, who will give voice to the music's narratives through her own texts.
It would be a great joy to gather and share this new beginning together—a journey for which your support is invaluable.
ODESEAS – A piano suite wandering between Myth and the Mediterranean
First Presentation: Thursday, June 4th, Concerto Café Artistic
On Thursday, June 4th, at 21:00, the welcoming space of Concerto Café Artistic hosts the first official presentation of the new musical project by composer and pianist Stefanos Kozanis, titled "ODESEAS".
ODESEAS (Ode + Seas) is a contemporary musical ode to the Mediterranean seas–an "Odyssey" for solo piano, inspired by the Homeric epic, the waters crossed by the mythical hero, and the archetypal female figures he encountered along his path.
In his first solo piano work, the composer transforms the piano into a "vessel" that celebrates the element of water. The suite consists of 11 parts (one for Odysseus and ten for the years of wandering), mapping 5 seas and 5 women who defined the journey of the return.
Joining the presentation is Christina Politou, who gives voice to the stories narrated by the music through her own texts. Her narration shifts the work from the mythical to a human and psychological level, creating a dialogue where word and sound become one.
Stefanos Kozanis' musical idiom blends classical piano literature with the freedom of jazz and improvisation, "coloring" the result with the light of the Mediterranean. With a duration of just over an hour, ODESEAS invites the listener into an internal experience, in places both mythical and as familiar as the seas that surround us.
