Periklis Papapetropoulos – lavta seminar

Periklis Papapetropoulos – lavta seminar

Periklis Papapetropoulos, a renowned musician of eastern traditions and one of the most prominent masters of lavta, will be in Brussels for a unique workshop.

Historically, the lavta was played by the Greeks of Istanbul and was also a staple of Ottoman ensembles. In particular, the interplay of Istanbul’s lyra (kemençe) and lavta was very popular. Then the lavta fell into disuse and its role was taken over by the oud. The last two decades, though, more and more musicians invest in this fine instrument.

About the instructor:

Periklis Papapetropoulos grew up on the island of Crete. His first musical experiences were with Cretan traditional music and at the age of 16, he participated in village festivals as part of the group of Psarantonis playing laouto and bulgari. In 1985 he met Ross Daly and studied saz and tanbur with him for several years.

He is a very experienced and renowned teacher of saz and lavta having taught at the Experimental Musical Gymnasium-Lyceum of Pallini, the society for the dissemination of National Music, the Academy of Simon Karas, and the Musical Workshop “Labyrinth.” He has many accomplished students who are today amongst the finest instrumentalists in Greece. He has recorded 2 solo CDs with his compositions.

He has collaborated with many great musicians of the traditional music scene such as Mehmet Erenler, Talip Ozkan, Paco Penia, Djamchid Chemirani, Kabul Ensemble, Huun-Huur-Tu, Naseer Shamma, Dariush Talai, Hamid Reza Khabbazi, Pedram Kahavar-Zamini, Dhruba Ghosh, Rufus Cappadocia, Vassilis Soukas, Kostas Mountakis, Nikos Saragoudas, Chronis Aidonides, Stelios Petrakis, Giorgos Kotsinis, Domna Samiou, Christos Tsiamoulis, Christos Sikkis, Petros Tambouris and many more.
