Eptaichon is a chamber music ensemble founded in the summer of 2013 and staffed by selected members of Symphony Orchestras and distinguished soloists. It presented its work in the Third Program of the Greek Radio, in the hall of the Philological Association of Parnassos, in the Progressive Club of Ymittos, in the Cultural Club of Psychiko, in multi-cultural venues and elsewhere.
Its purpose is to interpret a wide range of genres of music, highlighting the unity behind the compositions of the so-called academic music and the current, or not so current, songs and music of wider popularity, with the appropriate orchestration curated by the inspirer with the valuable contribution of the co-founders and constant companions Dionysis Mallouchos and Christos Ginos, with the prevailing reasoning that musical inspiration does not and could not depend only on the theoretical training or artistic origin of the composer. Thus, Eptaichon presents works that have been heard by large orchestras, aiming to highlight the essence of each work with a few instruments (instruments), as well as circles of songs or music that have seen the light in a less complex way and which wear the sound and color richness of the specific organic ensemble, giving a special version of sensitivity and acoustic approach. Indicative programs – productions of the Ensemble: “Magos erotas”, a collection of music and songs whose common place is erotas in all its forms, “Ta tragoudia tis mouviolas” with favorite cinematic music, with songs by Gounari, Giannidis, Sogioul, Attik, “With the wings of the Archangel” – Mikis Theodorakis and poets, etc.
