Harris Lambrakis Quartet – "The art of humble materials and music"

The B&E Goulandris Foundation’s Jazz at the Museum latest concert series, which is titled “Jazz Interactions” and explores the different ways that jazz music interacts with other forms of art, continues on Friday February 7 with the Harris Lambrakis Quartet and the performance “The art of humble materials and music”.

Drawing inspiration from the B&E Goulandris Foundation’s temporary exhibition “Nakis Panayotidis – Shut your Eyes and See”, Nikos Sidirokastritis (drums), Dimitris Theocharis (piano), Dimitris Tsekouras (double bass) and Harris Lambrakis (ney) will embark on a musical dialogue with the art movement of humble materials (Arte Povera) at the Foundation’s Amphitheatre. Just like a glass of wine brings people closer, whether it is an expensive glass and fine wine or a clay mug and cheap wine, so does music, hence the quality of materials might not be that important after all compared to the need and the healing power of communication.

The Harris Lambrakis Quartet was founded in 2006 and its music brings together modal jazz, Greek traditional, the tropical compositions of the Eastern Mediterranean and free improvisation. Over its 20-year course, the Quartet has given many concerts and has performed in festivals in Greece and abroad. It has released three albums, “Thea” (2010), “Meteora” (2012) and “Lafina” (2023).
