The French Ensemble Mêtis is coming to Greece for the first time to present a unique concert titled DIALOG Across Oceans: Poetry and Colours in Music at the GNO Alternative Stage.

Through this concert, the ensemble pays tribute to poetry, colour, and cultural diversity with a contemporary music programme featuring works by composers  Jean-Luc Hervé (France), Victor Ibarra (Mexico/France), Giorgos Koumendakis (Greece), Zosha Di Castri (USA), Gérard Pesson (France), Yvett Jackson (USA), and Alireza Farhang (France/Iran). By bringing together composers and performers from Mediterranean and American countries, this concert promotes intercultural dialogue and explores the deep connections among music, language, and light. It gives voice to new and poetic creations.

Ensemble Mêtis is one of the most important groups in Nice’s (France) contemporary music scene, dedicated to creating and promoting contemporary music and actively supporting the emergence of new composers. Borrowing its name from Metis, the Oceanid in Greek mythology, the ensemble brings together musicians from diverse cultural backgrounds, drawing inspiration from cultural pluralism. This enables it to maintain strong ties with Nice’s cultural life and collaborate with world-class composers.
