Join us for a spellbinding evening as Estudiantina of Melbourne brings the soul of Greece to Canberra.
Renowned for their deep devotion to traditional Greek music, Estudiantina of Melbourne masterfully revives the sounds of Smyrneika—a genre rooted in the multicultural tapestry of early 20th-century Asia Minor. With the haunting tones of oud, bouzouki, kanun, violin, and guitar, they breathe vibrant life into melodies shaped by Greek, Turkish, Jewish, and Armenian traditions.
But the journey doesn’t end there. The ensemble also delves into the heart of Rebetiko, Greece’s gritty urban blues. Through evocative lyrics and the raw beauty of instruments like the baglama and accordion, they channel the stories of struggle, longing, and resilience that echo across generations.
Don’t miss this rare chance to experience the rich textures, emotional depth, and timeless spirit of Greek folk music performed by one of Australia's most passionate and authentic ensembles.
One night only. Book early to avoid disappointment.
