Immerse yourself in the soulful melodies of Greek heritage with the "Grèce : Ntoumos Rebetiko Orchestra" performance at the prestigious Salle Philharmonique in Liège. Scheduled for Friday, January 24th, 2025, at 8:00 PM, this concert promises an enchanting evening of approximately 1 hour and 30 minutes, showcasing the rich musical tradition of rebetiko.

Originating in the early 1920s following the exodus of Greeks from Asia Minor, rebetiko music has been the voice of minorities and the marginalized, embodying the essence of Greek identity. In 2017, it was honored as an Intangible Cultural Heritage by UNESCO, celebrated for its deep emotional resonance and its association with oriental dance forms.

Belgian-Greek virtuoso Dominic Ntoumos leads the Ntoumos Rebetiko Orchestra, blending the haunting sounds of traditional instruments like the bouzouki and baglama with his trumpet, to breathe new life into the classic songs of legends such as Vamvakaris and Tsitsanis. This performance is not just a concert but a journey through the heart of Greek musical tradition, revisiting the roots of rebetiko and exploring its contemporary relevance.

Tickets are priced at €19, offering an opportunity to experience the world of rebetiko music, a genre that has shaped and been shaped by Greek culture over the decades. This event is presented in collaboration with the Jeunesses Musicales de Liège, ensuring an evening of high-quality musical exploration.
