Students of the Department of Music Studies of Ionian University created “Composition Lab” in March 2019, at the initiative of Sofia Bardoutsou.
It aims at promoting the continuous exchange of ideas, knowledge and creative inspiration between composers and performers. Its members support firmly that composers and performers should not work separately. The workshop consists of Ismini Beck, Praxilla Botou, Sofia Bardoutsou, Charis Pandis, Vaggelis Dougalis, Manthos Damigos, Philippos Ketentzian, Vasilis Pigkas, Ilias Anastasiou and Alexandros Chatzitimotheou.
At TEDxIonianUniversity, they explored what can happen in the way we listen and interact with one another through contemporary music composition, when a microphone, musical instruments and our thought function together as the prism. During the performance, a video projection by Georgia Perra will took place.
