Sokratis Sinopoulos Quartet

**Sokratis Sinopoulos Quartet** brings a hypnotic blend of Greek folk traditions and contemporary jazz to life, anchored by Sinopoulos’s mastery of the lyra, a pear-shaped bowed instrument central to Mediterranean music. Based in Athens, the quartet reimagines ancient melodies with improvisational flair, weaving in atmospheric textures and subtle grooves. Their acclaimed albums like *Metamodal* (2015) and *Eight Winds* (2018) showcase this genre-defying fusion, earning praise from outlets like *The Guardian* and BBC Radio 3. Alongside collaborators like pianist Yann Keerim and bassist Dimitris Tsekouras, Sinopoulos has graced stages worldwide, from London’s Jazz Café to New York’s Lincoln Center, enchanting audiences with music that feels both timeless and daringly modern.
