About the Event
Technopolis 20 invites you to celebrate the World Music Day, on the 21st of June 2024, at 8pm with the Gaba Project that will perform for the first time at their beautiful garden.
Gaba Project combine the handpan and the lyra for the first time worldwide. The duet focuses on experimenting with new musical approaches (arrangement, composition and soundscapes) that arise through their individual influences. Improvisation is a core element of the duet that comes from the two musicians’ varying musical knowledge and experiences, creating new perspectives.
The handpan is a contemporary instrument, whereas the lyra comes from a well-established Greek musical tradition. The mystic modern sound of the handpan is respectfully combined with tradition, creating a powerful yet sensitive sound which unites these two different musical pathways.
Gaba Project perform its own compositions and shares with the audience new soundscapes, which result from the almost magical combination of the lyra with the handpan. They also perform compositions from several traditions of the Eastern Mediterranean, such as Armenian, Cypriot, Turkish, Greek and Bulgarian, but with a new and fresh approach and mood, in some cases changing their rhythms and even transforming them entirely.
Vasilis Vasiliou: Handpan, Percussion | Christina Polycarpou: Lyra | Nicolas Tryphonos: Double bass
With great joy, at Technopolis 20, they will be sharing the stage once more with Nicolas Tryphonos on the double bass.
