A rich program of flavors, aromas, and Balkan-inspired melodies embarking on a journey from Greek mythology to the living sounds of today. The story of Daphnis and Chloe – the shepherd boy, the nymphs, the elements of nature, and awakening love – opens a window into a world where music, nature, and myth are intertwined. From some of the earliest surviving Greek sources, through Joseph Bodin de Boismortier’s Baroque composition, down to folk melodies – we discover how ideas, stories, and sounds continue to resonate over hundreds of years.
