Synolon:

Synolon is the evolution of the Contemporary Greek Music Ensemble which Athens native, composer Pericles Kanaris founded while studying at Berklee College of Music. The Boston ensemble was based on performers from the area’s music schools (Berklee College, Boston University, New England Conservatory). It presented an unexpected repertoire of Greek songs which were performed with great dedication to their original sound. This made the band an instant hit among the college community.

A few years later, Synolon was born in New York City, drawing its members from the city’s professional music scene. In a similar manner, the band started out as a “best-kept secret” which quickly spread through word of mouth by college students and young professionals. Synolon consistently sold out the world-music venue DROM in the East Village and received rave reviews for changing the presentation of Greek music in the city. Guest performances included Grammy Award winner Janis Siegel and master oudist Ara Dinkjian, among others.

In October 2014, at the Tribeca Performing Arts Center in Manhattan, Synolon hosted 5 critically acclaimed artists from Greece on stage: Vasilis Papakonstantinou, Kostas Makedonas, Rita Antonopoulou, Lamprini Karakosta and Yorgos Kaloudis on cello and Cretan lyra. They performed the US premiere of AORATOS, a collection of songs by composer Pericles Kanaris and Greek literary legend Manos Eleftheriou, as well as a tribute to the poet. This marked the beginning of a new chapter for Synolon as it presented for the first time original songs by Pericles Kanaris, as well as favorite songs by other songwriters, with its own unique sound. The journey continues.
