Barakos Orchestra
This September, Theatre of the NO—Athens's English-speaking theatre—launches its new season with a stirring tribute to a jazz visionary. The 12-member Barakos Orchestra returns to the stage on Thursday, September 25 to honour the legacy of Giorgos Barakos, the pioneer who opened Athens’ first jazz club in the heart of Anafiotika, beneath the Acropolis.
More than just a concert, this is a celebration of jazz as lived memory. The ensemble—featuring some of Greece’s most dynamic instrumentalists—performs original compositions inspired by Barakos’ passion and fearless experimentation.
From the haunting sound of the ney to the rich tones of saxophones, clarinet, vibraphone, and double bass, the performance offers a moving homage to a man who helped shape Greece’s modern musical identity.
Expect a night of soul, substance, and spirited improvisation in one of Athens' most intimate venues.
