With open ears, composers are restlessly wandering through the city, collecting its sounds. Two Athenian music ensembles invite composers who live in other capital cities to carefully listen together to the sounds of Athens and its historic centre. How is a city turned into music?

Free admission on a first come, first served basis.

Works by composers Manos Venturas and Kostas Tzekos (who are also members of the ensembles) will be performed, along with pieces by Turkish guest composer Tolga Tüzün. Acoustic and electronic sounds are combined with sounds of the city as well as the acoustic experiences of the rest of the musicians. Together, they create a soundtrack with unexpected fusions, offering a new music version of the city we live in.
