A project that awakens the motor and auditory development of infants and pre-schoolers through four periods of classical music: Baroque, classicism, romanticism and 20th-century music, with an approach including parent participation.
Through music-and-movement games children within the group discover timbre and style and get acquainted with the sound of classical music and the basic categories of musical instruments.
The workshop is targeted at two age groups: 0-24 months old and 2-4 years old. The presence of at least one parent is necessary for both age groups.

In the Visualizing Sound movement workshop, people with or without sensory disabilities interact, express themselves, and mainly feel by using exclusively their body to produce music. This is body music, the most ancient form of music. A form of expression that combines rhythm, movement and music and allows for the participant to live an unprecedented musical experience. Through the exploration of space and the potential of body sounds, original soundscapes based on contemporary dance techniques, improvisation and body music will be created, while at the same time the kinaesthetic perception, the ability to read and produce sound through one’s body, the handling of expressive means, communication and the stimulation of imagination will be developed.
PARTICIPATION IS FREE ON A FIRST COME FIRST SERVED BASIS
Registration Period: September – October 2018

Στόχος είναι οι επιλεγμένες μέθοδοι και τα εργαλεία που θα προκύψουν από αυτή τη σύμπραξη να δημιουργήσουν γόνιμο έδαφος για τον επαναπροσδιορισμό της καλλιτεχνικής εκπαίδευσης και παραγωγής υπό το πρίσμα της προσβασιμότητας και της συμπερίληψης.
Το έργο Creability είναι μια διεθνής πρωτοβουλία του Ευρωπαϊκού δικτύου Un-Label (https://un-label.eu/en/), χρηματοδοτείται από το πρόγραμμα Erasmus+ και αφορά τη συμπερίληψη ατόμων με αναπηρίες σε δημιουργικές και καλλιτεχνικές δράσεις.

For Stravinsky with love
Having as a baseline the avant-garde and bold Russian composer Igor Stravinsky’s (1882-1971) work, young musicians and choreographers are invited to create new music and dance works, that will be short and comprehensive and full of fresh ideas. Le sacre du printemps (1913), Le Rossignol (1914/1917/1920) and Les Noces (1932), three emblematic works which were written for the Russian Ballets and contributed to the establishment of the composer’s reputation, serve as a source of inspiration for young composers and choreographers, by giving them the chance to express their creativity and experiment without boundaries or limitations. Through an open contest process, seven new music works will be selected and performed by select dancers of the GNO Ballet School. And there’s more. Stravinsky Miniatures will be completed in April 2019 with the production of seven videos that will have recorded all the preparation stages of the works. The projection of the videos will take place in parallel with the performances of the Ballet’s three-fold tribute to Stravinsky. From Russia with love in the GNO venues at the SNFCC.
The selection of the artists will be made on the basis of an open call announced at www.nationalopera.gr
For four months, the rehearsals building of the Greek National Opera in Kallithea will be transformed into a sound and image factory. With the participation of 18 artists coming from the fields of music, sound and visual arts, selected via an open call, the new workshop, Transmedia Labworks, will focus on the relationship between opera and digital arts, interactive media and programming. Starting with Richard Strauss’s Elektra, the participants are called upon to experiment in order to redefine the concept of performative act in opera. The on-stage action will not be seen as a reproduction of narrative successions, received by the audience as an external observer, but as a spatial interactive experience, co-formed by the audience’s active participation. The aim of the Transmedia Labworks workshop is to create a series of experimental, cross-media and interactive audiovisual projections and interpretations of selected scenes from the foresaid opera. Transmedia Labworks will be completed by opening its doors to the public and by giving them the unique chance to become part of an exciting audiovisual experience. Exactly at the point where opera meets with digital cross-mediacy and computer interpretation.
The GNO Alternative Stage goes to Larissa for the annual Regional Troupes Meeting which brings creative groups operating in the field of musical theatre into direct contact with each other. For four whole days, at various venues in the city, four groups from Thessaloniki, Rethymno, Amfissa and Larissa will participate in experiential workshops, share experiences, experiment and develop their skills. The meeting will be completed with the presentation of a short play by each group. The introductory workshop titled “Directing music” will be led by GNO Alternative Stage’s artistic director, Alexandros Eflkidis.
What could refugee children and grandfathers and grandmothers in Athens have in common?
How can they practically co-exist? They do not speak the same language, they do not have the same age, they do not have the same experiences. Their only thing in common is the language and the memory of their bodies. The cross-generational workshop Moving Music brings in contact two groups of people that do not communicate with each other in their everyday life: unaccompanied minors and elderly people. Using as an instrument the sounds of their voices, the rhythms of their feet and the guidance of artists, the two groups come in contact, co-exist and co-create.
A new choir is born for women and men over 65 years of age. The members of the Choir should be passionate about music and singing, without necessarily having some kind of expertise in it. Based on singing and select cross-sectoral approaches combining music act with speech, the Choir aims at contributing to the development of emotional bonds and increased socialization among its members. At the same time, in the Choir’s creative context, learning is turned into a creative experience which will offer joy and improve people’s quality of life.
PARTICIPATION WILL BE FREE ON A FIRST COME FIRST SERVED BASIS

It is never too late to learn how to play the guitar. The successful programme Guitar express continues through a new cycle of workshops for people over 65 years of age who have never hidden their adoration for Jimmy Hendrix or Paco de Lucia. In this programme, guitar becomes the vehicle for beginners’ fast and easy access to music and the process of learning a musical instrument. Singing also plays an important part in the programme, as all participants will have the unique chance to also practise their voice. A joyous, cheerful company is waiting for you at the GNO. Guitar express, company express.

A theatre and music workshop in collaboration with the street magazine “Schedia”, the Reception and Solidarity Centre of the Municipality of Athens and the Athens 2018 Global Book Capital project. With the support of the Athens Municipality Cultural Network. Italo Calvino’s book Invisible Cities offered the inspiration for the creation of a meeting point in the form of a workshop, titled Here, where people can meet and communicate through speech and sound. People who see the city through the eyes none of us has. Sounds produced in their primal form, creating an urban timbre that none of us has heard. Stories telling a personal trajectory in a city with many faces that none of us has noticed. Calvino’s approach of fantastic cities, in relation to the participants-experienced but invisible to the rest of us city of Athens, is the baseline for a fruitful interaction of speech and sound, stories and songs, theatre and music.

In October 2018 another music journey without boundaries begins! The Alternative Stage in cooperation with the GNO Educational and Social Activities create a new Intercultural Orchestra. Permanent or temporary residents of Athens, professional and amateur musicians from all the communities of the city are called upon to participate, live a unique experience and create a multi-ethnic repertory from the musical traditions of their countries of origin.
The Intercultural Orchestra aspires to bring the universal language of music closer to us and serves as a focal point for getting together and co-existing, fostering mutual understanding and accepting diversity.
“The point of reference of this ensemble will be music, which – as a universal practise that unites and does not separate, engages in a dialogue and does not force itself – will attempt to open up perspectives, give hope, and mainly, bring forth, incorporate and accept diversity”, notes Harris Lambrakis, the choir manager.
The Music Workshop at the male wing of the Korydallos Penitentiary continues with a fourth cycle of meetings. Through weekly meetings, which will begin in January 2019, participants from all wings of the Penitentiary will experiment with sound and music. Through experimentation and guidance by experienced musicians, the participants will acquire basic music and performing skills.
The workshop will be completed with a concert, in which prisoners themselves will perform the compositions. The main aim of this workshop is to cultivate participants’ creativity, team spirit and freedom of expression.
