After the great response to the Members' tour in September, we return in November at the EMST to the exhibition on Iannis Xenakis with one more exclusive tour for SNFCC Members guided by the Museum’s Artistic Director and curator of the exhibition Katerina Gregos, and Stamatis Schizakis.
We become acquainted with the work of pioneer composer and intellectual Iannis Xenakis, one of the leading international influences in the development of electronic music and computer music composition, who pioneered the use of mathematical models in music. Our tour through the artist’s multifaceted, groundbreaking work will shed light on his references and his multidimensional universe.
The exhibition aims to highlight the work of renowned, or lesser known but equally important, cultural creators of the Greek diaspora. The guided tour will be held in Greek.
