Part I, Echoes of tradition

Byzantine chants and sacred music, where deep vocal drones carry ancient melodies.

Part II, A tale of love, tragedy and hope

Folk music inspired by the Asia Minor Catastrophe, telling stories of courage, love, loss and the spirit of a displaced people seeking a new home.
