Kariatides Duo (with Elliot Simpson, guitar and Nick Thess at percussions) decided to turn our exhibition into a musical surrealistic travel, through the colours, the ideas and the sounds that have inspired some of our main artists. Theofilos Lamprianidis and Fanis Zachopoulos have composed the music especially for this event.Kariatides Duo is a chamber music project which born from the desire to combine two different instruments and to explore the possibilities that this new combination can offer to musicians and to the audience. Lina Tsiva, Greek flutist and Maria Rosaria Della Ragione, italian clarinetist started to play together in 2011, when they met each other in Utrecht conservatory. Both attending the master of music in chamber music, they starts to research about the repertoire written for flute and clarinet and when the notes starts to coming out like one warm and colored sound then it is clear that this combination can actually works. Through their concerts they want to allow people know about the music and the colors that the flute and the clarinet together can express. https://www.facebook.com/pages/Kariatides-Duo/138201313022218 - MAR 08 International Women’s Day 2015: MAKE IT HAPPEN Brainstorm Session @Home Of Art
