MYSTERY_96 CHÓRES & MYSTERY_0 – ELEFSIS 2023 EUROPEAN CAPITAL OF CULTURE

CHÓRES participated in the Eleusis 2023 – European Capital of Culture program through an initiative with a strong participatory and educational character. Within the framework of Mystery_96 CHÓRES, they undertook the conception, facilitation, and artistic direction of a choral workshop aimed at women of Elefsina, with the goal of forming the CHÓRES ensemble of Elefsina.

The group held weekly musical and vocal sessions, cultivating a vibrant space for vocal expression, collaboration, and community building.

The project culminated in the choir’s participation in the opening ceremony of the European Capital of Culture – Mystery_0: Mysteries of Transition- Opening Ceremony, in February 2023, where CHÓRES acted as the vocal ensemble of the ceremony, actively contributing to the creation of a large-scale music-theatre experience on the beach of Elefsina.
