ODESEAS – A piano suite wandering between Myth and the Mediterranean

OdeSeas live @Alogokrito — The Journey Continues in Pagkrati

Just a few days before entering the studio to record the album, the music project "OdeSeas" by composer and pianist Stefanos Kozanis makes a stop for an atmospheric live performance at "Alogokrito" boîte, a beloved artistic spot in Pagkrati, on Thursday, October 29 at 21:30.

OdeSeas (Ode + Seas) is a contemporary musical ode to the seas of the Mediterranean; an "Odyssey" for solo piano, inspired by the Homeric epic, the seas crossed by the mythical hero, and the archetypal female figures he encountered along his way.

In his first solo piano work, the composer turns the piano into a "vessel" sailing through the liquid element. The suite consists of 11 parts (one for Odysseus and ten for his years of wandering), mapping 5 seas and 5 women who marked his return journey. Stefanos Kozanis' musical idiom combines classical piano literature with the freedom of jazz and improvisation, coloring the result with the light of the Mediterranean.

Joining the performance is Christina Politou, who gives voice to the stories narrated by the music through her own texts. Her narration elevates the work from the mythical to the human and psychological level, creating a warm dialogue where word and sound become one.

Friends who join us at "Alogokrito" will have the unique opportunity to experience the musical world of OdeSeas up close, and even "participate" in the album's preparation, as the energy and vibes of this live evening will be carried directly into the upcoming recording sessions.
