Library Research Fellow
Prof. Stavroula (Avra) Xepapadakou, Lecturer, Dept. of Philology, Division of Music and
Theatre Studies, University of Crete.
Summary:
"The Demakopoulos music collection is a rich private archive of sheet music, musical
scores, albums and vinyl records. Its contents form an extended overview of Modern Greek
art and urban-popular music of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. In this
presentation we shall examine paradigms from the collection of the most important
historical landmarks of Greek musical creation (Ionian Music School, National School,
Avant-Garde, Modernism, Urban-popular songs etc) and meet the leading composers, artists
and performers (such as Nikolaos Chalikiopoulos Mantzaros, Pavlos Carrer, Spyros Samaras,
Manolis Kalomiris, Nikos Skalkotas, Dimitris Mitropoulos, Maria Callas, Ianis Xenakis,
Manos Hadjidakis, Mikis Theodorakis, Dionyssis Savopoulos, et al.). We shall also focus on
representative music works and will enrich our discussion with selected music
samples."
