Creative Cauldron 2024 Holiday Cabarets: Spyros Koliavasilis Presents Songs of the Sea and Carols of Greece

Returning to Creative Cauldron this holiday season, multi-instrumentalist and vocalist Spyros Koliavasilis presents an enchanting evening celebrating Greek carols and songs of the sea. Greece’s deep, 4,000-year connection with the sea has inspired a rich legacy of history and myth. Since ancient times, the Greeks have been driven by an insatiable desire to use the stars and the sea to explore, seek answers, and pursue their dreams. The sea is mother, sister, lover—the source of salt, joy, and sorrow. At Christmastime, the joy of togetherness and the heartache of missing distant loved ones are felt most deeply. The season is a magical time when folklore and music touch our souls. Greece has a vibrant tradition of Christmas carols, with unique variations from the mountainous mainland to its many islands. With his velvety vocals, guest musicians, and a range of traditional and modern instruments—including Laouto-Guitar, Oud, Bouzouki, and Kemane— Koliavasilis delivers an entrancing performance of sea-inspired songs that tug at our heartstrings alongside carols that bid good will, health, and happiness to all.
