A great summer vacation with guitar music, nice people, and great food...
Could the sound of classical guitar music ringing through the clear night air on a remote island warm your heart? Do daydreams of peaceful or romantic evenings on a moonlit beach play in your mind? Do you enjoy trying new foods, meeting kind people, or walking narrow historic streets lined with stone houses and interesting shops? If these images make you smile, you should consider vacationing on the Greek island of Syros by attending the annual Hermoupolis Guitar Festival in July.
We would like to point out the European dimension of this event, which seems to us a very valuable contribute to the unification and artistical communication between musicians and audience, It 's a most precious contribute to the European cultural landscape.
A summertime week on a Greek island in the Aegean Sea, with nightly concerts in a number of charming locations? The city of Hermoupolis is quaint and relatively unspoiled, somewhat off the beaten track for the jet-Set tourists. Laid out around a harbor and up the surrounding hills, it offers picturesque sights, a lovely ambience and warm hospitality.
This Festival had a unique personality that was completely in accord with the setting - friendly, relaxed and non-competitive. The participants were there to spend a week communing with other musicians, making music and thoroughly enjoying the entire experience. The evening concerts and the daily master classes, presented a variety of the guitar's aspects.
