Hi all,

Something beautiful ánd different: The 'Seven Ancient Greek Lyrics' by Victor Kioulaphides performed by the soprano Sharon Snellenberg and mandolinist Ferdinand Binnendijk at the ArtEZ Conservatorium/Music Highschool during the Chamber Music Presentation Concert March 22nd (2012) in Zwolle (Netherlands). Thanks goes to Victor, Sharon and Ferdinand.

A composition originally composed in 2007 for the mezzo-soprano Marjorie Bunday and mandolinist Neil Gladd who premièred the work at the Washington Ethical Society in Washington, DC, on Januari 24th, 2009.


Enjoy and best greetings,

Alex.

Very, very nice! Ferdinand is SUCH a showman!

Ah, those lascivious, shameless ancestors of mine— I claim to be no different, BTW — so colorful, so unabashed, so merciless in their acute perceptiveness of the human condition... Twenty-seven centuries later, their words still resonate, ever current, ever relevant, truly eternal.

Cheers to the young, who reach so far back into the old.

Victor
