The tribute of “The Elves of Tradition” to the musical heritage of Thessaly continued on Monday, 14 July, with another live concert at the ERT Larissa studio, focusing on folk music from the Larissa region.
Participating musicians:
Kostas Dedousis (clarinet)
Lefteris Gallos (violin)
Kostas Papadimitriou (lute – vocals)
Apostolos Mavrantzas (percussion)
The series aims to preserve and promote the musical tradition of Thessaly, emphasizing the handover of knowledge from the older to the younger generation. It also highlights the collaboration between Voice of Greece and ERT’s regional stations, making use of studios and personnel as a bridge connecting the Greek diaspora with their ancestral homelands.
At the same time, the program stands as a tribute to two giants of traditional Greek music: G. Gouziotis and M. Paraskevas.
Produced and presented by Maria Koutsimpiri
