Kostas Kyritsakis with the four-string Cretan lyra, Kostas Makakis with the Cretan lute and George Zacharioudakis with lutes from Ireland, Crete and India perform motifs of the Irish musical tradition, from the first compositions of Turlough O’Carolan, in the late 1600 AD , to the creations of modern representatives of Celtic music.
With references also to the musical tradition of Crete, they create a special musical dialogue with Cretan motifs, in a very rare musical effect.

They cooperate on stage at the Cultural Center of Chania with the numerous participants in the program, “The Art of Rhythm” for “ORIZONTAS”.
