“When One Is Human” : Learned Music of Constantinople – Music of Coexistence

Start of reservations: 24.07

Dates

07.08 — 08.08.2026

Description

The project “When One Is Human” highlights the learned musical tradition of Constantinople (15th–19th centuries) as a living expression of a multicultural and human-centered world. Within an environment where cultures and religions coexisted, music served as a common ground for experience and communication. Inspired by the reflection of Menander, the performance sheds light on the timeless value of human relationships, love, family, and peaceful coexistence. Classical Eastern music profoundly influenced modern Greek musical creation through the convergence of ecclesiastical and secular traditions. The program culminates with Tsatsaronis’ Oratorio for Peace, conveying a message of remembrance and hope.
