ROUTES- Giorgios Kyriakakis Portre Concert - Müpa - Palace of Arts - Glass Hall - 8th May 2013

The Simplicity and Beauty
"The Prologue Note"

 Composed by Giorgios Kyriakakis

I was very happy to be part of this concert, meeting personally with the Contemporary Greek Composer Mr. Giorgios Kyriakakis and sang the piece " The Prologue Note" which composed by him on 1998.

This was a great meeting with music, with myself and deep down of my subconscious. "The Prologue Note" an a cappella piece. During these piece I discovered how the music could be written by composer freely and  in its own existence. The song was my body, my sould and my expressions were the movements of the sound waves.. Who was leading me? The ancient byzantine tunes or similar intervals which I felt between Turkish and Greek Music? However I felt this is not the first not the last time I will perform this piece..The discovery goes on continuously! and special thanks to Mr.Dimitris Mimidis who was involving me into this beautiful concert and Mr.Giorgios Kyriakakis for whom I am grateful to perform his piece which is for me became the meaning of the simplicity and beauty.
