Barakos Orchestra 

THEATRE OF THE NO

Thursday 25th September

A 12-member orchestra in a musical collaboration  in honor  of Giorgos Barakos

THEATRE OF THE NO, Athens’ premier English-speaking theater, is proud to present the Barakos Orchestra in a special musical performance dedicated to the legendary Giorgos Barakos.

 On Thursday 25th  September at 21:30, this twelve-member ensemble will showcase original compositions in a celebration of Barakos’ monumental contribution to the Greek jazz scene.

In the spring of 2024, twelve friends and colleagues, bound by their mutual love for music and deep respect for Giorgos Barakos, came together with a shared goal: to honor the man who revolutionized Greek jazz. Barakos opened the first jazz club in Greece, nestled in the heart of the historic Anafiotika neighborhood in Plaka, beneath the Acropolis rock, and near the Agios Nikolaos Ragkavas church. His legacy, defined by his dedication to the art and culture of jazz, continues to resonate today.

The Barakos Orchestra is not a group designed to simply impress, but one that embodies the true spirit of music as an act of participation, collective memory, and shared expression. This performance serves as a heartfelt tribute to the visionary who helped shape the landscape of Greek jazz and jazz culture in general.
