Ancient Greek Music Workshop

The Ancient Greek Music Workshop isn't a band in the traditional sense, but rather a project dedicated to researching and reconstructing the music of ancient Greece. Led by scholar and musician Michael Levy, they explore the sounds and instruments of antiquity, bringing this often-forgotten music back to life. They meticulously research ancient texts, iconography, and archaeological findings to create performances and recordings that offer a glimpse into the musical world of ancient Greece. From the lyrical melodies of Sappho to the philosophical musings of Socrates set to music, the Workshop delves into a wide range of genres and styles.

Their releases often focus on specific instruments like the lyre, kithara, and barbitos, or explore the music associated with particular Muses or aspects of ancient Greek culture. They also showcase the work of various composers and poets, offering listeners a rich and diverse experience of ancient Greek music. If you're curious about what music sounded like thousands of years ago, or just looking for something unique and evocative, the Ancient Greek Music Workshop is definitely worth checking out.
