Melburnians are in for a real treat, ahead of her show at Brunswick Ballroom Thursday 24th of August, Haroula will be hosting a vocal workshop at the Greek Centre.

In this workshop Haroula will cover four styles of Greek singing including:

Istanbul/ Smyrne pre-war style based on vocalists such as Marika Frachescopoulou, Roza Eskenazi, Rita Abatzi and Georgia Mittaki.
USA refugees drawing on vocalists such as Marika Papagika, Kyria Koula, Amalia Vaka and Virgina Margkidou- Athenian style including: Ioana Georgakopoulou, Daisy Stavropoulou, Sotiria Bellou.
Lyrical post-war style study of Stella Haskil, Marika Ninou and Mary Linda.

Haroula’s goal is to bring to light the different styles of the 'ladies' that were existing at the same time, like opening a window through the 78rpm records to the past. This will help us bring these ways of singing to the present and understand better the Greek and Eastern Mediterranean way of singing. It was these ladies that greatly influenced her life and she would like to share her passion and insights with the world.

Prerequisites:
No prior assumed knowledge of Greek or Greek songs is necessary as the lesson can be conducted in English with transliterated lyrics.
