SOLD-OUT - Mydros & Maodones (GR) – Greek dance ball

Mydros, a local Greek-Hungarian band and the Greek Maodones, which formed in 2016, will give a joint concert and dance party in the guise of a Greek ball at the House of Music – with the added specialness that the now defunct Greek band are reuniting especially for this concert! Thousands of years of tradition, Greek urban music, traditional folk music, and traditional music from the Macedonian region will also be heard at this... let's just say: very big Greek ball!

Mydros
Mydros was founded in 2001 by young people from Greece and Hungary to share the joy Greek music and dance have given them since childhood. Their goal is to create cultured entertainment for all ages with their dance houses, thus contributing to the popularization of Greek culture. Since their foundation, they have performed almost 1500 times. In addition to domestic and foreign music festivals, they are regular performers at Greek dance houses, dinner evenings, ethnic shows and Greek-Hungarian weddings. The band also organized ten holidays in Greece for their audience. So far, two discs have been released. Their orchestration favours mostly Greek urban music, but their repertoire of more than 400 tracks also includes traditional folk music and contemporary Greek music.

Maodones (GRE)
Maodones, who play traditional music, first performed at balls, celebrations and concerts in 2016. However, the members of the band were already engaged in traditional music, and the four musicians gained considerable experience in different formations. Following the melodic world and instrumentation of the Macedonian region, accordion, clarinet, trumpet and davul (hand drum) are played in their music, which is basically a continuation of the traditional Macedonian melodic world. They also learned from older generations of musicians, crossing the melodies they heard from them with more modern instrumentation in order to bring unique, distinctive sound to Macedonian folk culture, which already forms a rich and special mosaic. After a short break, the orchestra reunites specifically for request of the House of Music.
