Ensemble Melpomen

"Sappho and her time"

Largely under-represented in concert, the music of ancient Greece is no less intriguing. Ensemble Melpomen has made it its mission to present the music of this period to the general public, on rare and little-known instruments.

Program: Greek music based on poetry from the 6th century BC
