Twin Flames Ensemble - Ederlezi

Ederlezi Journey ΙII from Northern Greece to the Balkans Twin Flames Ensemble invites musicians with traditional Balkan, Baroque and Eastern Modal music backgrounds to enrich the Greek repertoire with the sounds and songs of their own traditions, presented over the course of three concerts. The project celebrates the belief that tradition is a living organism that grows and evolves based on cultural dialogue, which empowers the idea of community and encourages a sense of togetherness. Maroulita de Kol and Penelope Gkika (aka Twin Flames) have been working together for a decade, researching and reinterpreting the stories and musical material of Greek traditional music. In addition to their duo project, they have founded three Berlin-based bands that are involved in similar sonic research - Reverse Mode, Arcangel Trio and Farmagia, all of which actively perform around Europe.
