A guitar brought down from the attic, positive mood and beloved songs, that’s all that’s needed for the Guitar Express company to begin its musical alchemy. In the successful programme’s weekly meetings, time and current obligations are left outside the class. It is time for guitar strumming, adored songs, joy and relaxation. It is time to make music in the present with materials from the past so as to win over the future.

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.

The workshop Connecting body focuses on the development process of kinesthetics and music perception, as participants learn to harmoniously share space and time. A basic instrument for attaining this result is body music, which proposes an experiential way of co-existing and communicating based exclusively on the use of the body for producing music. The workshop is targeted at people of all ages and it can simultaneously include persons with or without sensory disabilities. The result is every time unique and it depends on the group’s special character.

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

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.
\In October 2018 a special journey into the music world began, as the Alternative Stage in collaboration with the GNO’s Learning & Participation launched a new ensemble, the Intercultural Orchestra. With the goal of embracing people and music, languages and melodies from different countries of the world, the Orchestra continues for a second year to serve as a hub of equal participation and interaction, and as a platform of communication between different perceptions and cultures.

From Athens to Papua New Guinea, from Kenya to Ukraine and from Slovakia to Tanzania, people from all four corners of the earth unite their voices, become one and interpret songs speaking straight to the heart. This is the power of the GNO Alternative Stage’s Intercultural Choir which continues its multicultural journey through the world’s neighbourhoods. In the third year since its creation, the Intercultural Choir continues to offer unique moments and intense feelings to the audiences, and at the same time a unique experience to its members.
Songs of unpaired melodic richness from the traditional music of the countries of origin of its members constitute the Intercultural Choir’s repertory, which continues to be enriched with new material. Already, the Choir has over 25 members, while the last two years it has conducted workshops in refugee and immigrant accommodation sites as well as in open concerts at Kypseli and Omonia squares, at the Athens Airport and the Summer Nostos Festival of the Stavros Niarchos Foundation.
