Supported by the APGRD, Archilochus' Fragments is a new musical work by composer Costas Kafouros blending ancient Greek poetry with modern sound; a contemporary reimagining of the poetry of Archilochus of Paros (c. 680 B.C.), one of the boldest and most original voices of antiquity. Performed by world-class musicians Katerina Mina (vocals), Rami Sarieddine (piano), Marios Nicolaou (bassoon) and Mariana Parás (percussion), the piece explores timeless themes and the enduring dialogue between past and present, voice and instruments.
