SUMMARY:Her Voice: A Celebration of the Women of Classical Music
DESCRIPTION:Following their sold-out performance in 2023\, the Waldstein Trio return to the Hellenic Centre with a powerful programme celebrating the often overlooked\, yet extraordinary legacy of women composers from the 19th century to the present day. \nFrom Clara Schumann to Valentina Scheldhofen Ciardelli\, this concert traces over 200 years of remarkable creativity\, showcasing the unique and compelling voices of women who composed against the grain of a male-dominated musical tradition. For too long\, their contributions were dismissed\, marginalised\, or forgotten—pushed to the periphery of concert repertoire and historical recognition. \nYet these composers\, through resilience and brilliance\, challenged the barriers set before them. Their works are filled with emotional depth\, originality\, and artistic power. This performance honours their legacy and affirms the importance of restoring women’s rightful place in the classical canon. \nJoin us in celebrating the female creative spirit—through its music\, its resilience\, and its long-overdue recognition.

SUMMARY:Jewish Music from the Hellenic Region
DESCRIPTION:Cantor Assaf Levitin is joined by pianist Naaman Wagner for an evening of deeply moving and timeless music. This concert journeys through the rich tapestry of Jewish musical heritage\, shaped by the Hellenic world\, ancient mythology\, and the enduring symbolism of the sea as a vessel of connection\, exile\, and return.  \nThe programme interweaves stories of displacement\, memory\, and belonging\, linking ancient voices with modern echoes across the shifting tides of time and culture. Alberto Hemsi’s Coplas Sefardies evoke the Judeo-Spanish heritage of Thessaloniki and Crete. Works by Fauré\, Schubert\, Barber\, and Ireland delve into the mythic and emotional depths of the sea\, conjuring themes of burden\, illusion\, and yearning. Contemporary songs by Yehuda Poliker and Corinne Alal explore memory\, migration\, and post-Holocaust identity with raw emotional power.  \nFrom haunting Sephardic ballads to rock music\, this concert offers a heartfelt musical tribute to the enduring Jewish presence in the Hellenic world.  \nThe event is supported by the Goethe-Institut London

SUMMARY:Echo: Dorothy Cross in Conversation with Iwona Blazwick
DESCRIPTION:For the third conversation of Echo\, curator Iwona Blazwick speaks with Irish artist Dorothy Cross about her work and how her forms and images resonate with myth and metamorphosis. Being human in relation to the natural world is a motif running through the sculpture\, film & photography of Cross\, connecting her work with the animist beliefs of the ancient world. The talk will be followed by a Q&A session.  \nCross came to prominence in the 1990s with her use of the skins and udders of cows to create surreal draped figures reminiscent of Christian statuary. Throughout her career she has continued to cast animal\, plant and human forms – ranging from jellyfish and foxgloves to skulls and fingers – making sculptures and films that create metamorphic synergies between us and non-human species. Most recently Cross has turned to carving marble\, the material of Antiquity. Sourcing an astonishing range of geological colours and striations\, she carves exquisitely rendered feet as part of the stone yet emerging from it.  Rather than pairs of feet\, single or multiple feet are captured in the act of walking\, like the petrified ghosts of our ancestors. She has commented. ‘Good art should make you consider yourself in relation to time\, which means in relation to birth\, life and death’. Dorothy Cross’ oeuvre resonates with the winged or four legged gods and goddesses of Greco-Roman statuary and with ancient systems of belief where the non-human world was understood as sentient and magical.    \nImage: Dorothy Cross\, Poll Na bPéist\, 2008\, Archival pigment print

SUMMARY:RUSH(ES) by Alexandra Bachzetsis
DESCRIPTION:RUSH(ES) is a compelling new solo performance by renowned Greek-Swiss visual artist and choreographer Alexandra Bachzetsis. Conceived as an introspective journey\, RUSH(ES) confronts behavioural taboos and interrogates the commodification of desire — constructed and deconstructed through the moving body.    \nRUSH(ES) is characterised by rapid transformations that push the body to its limits\, reflecting pleasure\, joy\, solitude and anxiety through the intense physicality of the performer. In the process of corporeal metamorphosis\, Bachzetsis navigates her body so that it ceases to be human and morphs into something else – an animal\, an object\, a tool.  \nIn this solo performance\, the audience is invited to perceive\, examine and experience these physical transformations as a reflection of the collective consciousness. RUSH(ES) thus aims to evoke intuitive\, immediate responses to music\, space\, text and the actions of the body\, taking both performer and audience into a heightened state of awareness and transformation.  \nBlending autofiction and auto–documentation\, the piece invites both performer and audience into a heightened state of awareness and transformation.  \nThe performance will take place on Thursday 16 and Friday 17 October 2025 at 19:00. This is the London premiere of RUSH(ES) and spaces are limited.

SUMMARY:BOOKMORPHS: Artists’ Books from Greece & the UK
DESCRIPTION:The interactive exhibition BOOKMORPHS: Artists’ Books from Greece & the UK brings together a diverse selection of artists’ books\, book works\, book-art objects\, limited and multiple editions\, ephemera\, and journals by 44 visual artists\, curators\, publishers\, and theorists from both Greece and the UK. It marks the first comprehensive presentation in London of contemporary artists’ books by Greek and British visual artists in dialogue.  \nBOOKMORPHS borrows its title from a term used by art writer Michael Hampton and aims to foster dialogue and exchange between Greek and British artists.  \nShowcasing a wide range of techniques and media – painting\, printmaking\, drawing\, writing\, poetry\, digital printing\, cutting\, bookbinding\, sculpture\, sound\, and photography – the exhibition highlights the rich materiality and experimental nature of the book as an artistic form.  \nWhat happens when a book’s legibility is disrupted? BOOKMORPHS invites audiences to engage with books through unconventional forms of ‘reading’: holding\, touching\, activating. Here\, books transform into vehicles of unique\, interactive experiences\, allowing visitors to explore the anatomy of the book and connect more intimately with its content.  \nIn re-examining the meaning and history of the codex\, these works address a range of social\, political\, cultural\, ecological\, and gender issues. Personal narratives and subversive themes are reimagined in the artists’ book format\, expanding the ways books can be created\, read\, and understood as cultural artefacts.  \nThe various objects presented in BOOKMORPHS continue to abide by typical bibliographic references\, even though an artist’s book presents a disruption to conventional literary structures. In an age of screen reading and doom-scrolling\, this exhibition seeks to preserve a tactile connection with the book – as text\, as layered object\, and as interactive form.   \nParticipating artists: Eleni Angelou\, Nikos Arvanitis\, Rania Bellou\, David Blackmore\, Sarah Bodman\, Ismini Bonatsou\, BOOKEND – Matt Hale & Nick Cash\, Maria Bourbou\, Thodoros Brouskomatis\, Jonathan Callan\, Natassa Chelioti – Naga\, Ioanna Delfino\, Joe Devlin\, Anna Dimitriou\, Stephen Emmerson\, SJ Fowler\, Michael Hampton\, Rowena Hughes\, Inscription Journal (Gill Partington\, Simon Morris\, Adam Smyth)\, Antonia Iroidou\, Eleni Kastrinogianni\, Peggy Kliafa\, Alexia Kokkinou\, Georgia Kotretsos\, Nikos Kryonidis\, Vasiliki Lefkaditi\, Eleni Maragaki\, Kyriaki Mavrogeorgi\, Despina Meimaroglou\, Christina Mitrentse\, Fiona Mouzakitis\, Kiki Perivolari\, Stamatis Schizakis\, Ifigeneia Sdoukou\, Christina Sgouromiti\, Danai Simou\, Dimitris Skourogiannis\, Annetta Spanoudaki\, Nectarios Stamatopoulos\, Despina Stavrou\, Aris Stoidis\, Evangelos Tasios\, Yannis Tzortzis\, Leonie Yagdjoglou.   \nCurated by Project 2 Athens (Fiona Mouzakitis & Despina Stavrou) and Christina Mitrentse. \nCo-organised and hosted by the Hellenic Centre.  \nLead sponsor Captain Vassilis and Carmen Constantakopoulos Foundation. With the support of The A. G. Leventis Foundation. The catalogue is sponsored by The Panayotis & Effie Michelis Foundation.  \nSPECIAL PUBLIC EVENTS   \nTuesday 14 October\, 18:00–21:00  \nExhibition Private View

SUMMARY:Call Me Stratos: In Conversation with the author
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the launch of Chrysoula Georgoula’s debut novel\, followed by a discussion on modern challenges in Greece and a Q&A session. Call Me Stratos follows a man profoundly impacted by Greece’s financial crisis. The novel offers a powerful glimpse into the country’s recent turbulent history—from the Olympic Games to the economic collapse—highlighting the struggles of the working class.\n\nAfter a dramatic divorce\, and at the age of forty-two\, Stratos Achtidis returns to his family home to live with his mother and brother. Humiliated and feeling isolated from family and friends\, he turns to alcohol and reminisces about an over-glorified past. Through Stratos’s eyes\, the reader witnesses the social and economic transformations that have shaped Greek society over the past twenty-five years. The novel explores the struggles of ordinary working-class Greeks\, who have faced profound existential and financial challenges\, and the resulting shifts in their way of life.  \n\nGeorgoula delivers a pitch-perfect portrayal of the male psyche—particularly a certain kind of Greek male—with often brutal authenticity. Call Me Stratos is not just a compelling read; it is a powerful depiction of some of the most significant issues affecting Greek society.\n\nThe conversation will be led by Dr. Liana Giannakopoulou\, Senior Research Fellow at the Faculty of Modern and Medieval Languages and Linguistics\, University of Cambridge.’ \n\nIn collaboration with Istros books.
