10th Tinos World Music Festival
Transformations ΙΙΙ
25, 26 & 27 October 2024
Tinos World Music Festival presents the third year of the cycle of musical creation with the title “Transformations”, which aims to explore the relationship between the various manifestations of folk music culture and contemporary artistic creation.
Tinos World Music Festival was inaugurated in 2013 on the island of Tinos and is organised by the Cultural Foundation of Tinos and the Creative Musical Island. It has hosted over 100 musicians from Greece and abroad and has been attended by hundreds of spectators from all over the world. Artistic director of the festival is Martha Mavroidi.
With “Transformations”, the festival aims to give prominence to the new musical community growing around the traditional music of Greece and the Eastern Mediterranean, seeking new ways of artistic expression. Virtuosi of folk instruments who develop new techniques on their instruments, transform the traditional musical idioms and create new musical genres, each one marking the result with their own particular artistic identity. Musicians from this community rarely have the opportunity to present their work at an institution that is dedicated to such genres. The “Transformations” cycle consists of three different editions of the festival (Transformations I, II, III), in three consecutive years (2022, 2023, 2024) and includes concerts and educational activities in various locations of Tinos. The aim of the three-year cycle is to provide a platform where new musical trends interact with one another through musical partnerships and educational activities, and meet with a wide audience, creating a musical network that includes both the local community of Tinos and the nearby islands, as well as an ever-growing audience from other regions of Greece and abroad.
