PROGRAM 2005
The
Musical Workshop "Labyrinth" was founded in 1982 by Ross
Daly with the goal of initiating young people, primarily, into
a creative approach to traditional musical idioms from various parts of
the world. Today the M.W. Labyrinth, in cooperation
with the municipality "Nikos Kazantzakis" has concentrated all
of its activities in a tastefully restored old manor in the village of
Houdetsi (20 km due south of Iraklion), where one can visit a permanent
exhibition of rare musical instruments from all over the world.
Apart
from the personal collection of Ross Daly himself, exhibitions of unique
collections of instruments belonging to other collectors will
also be on display from time to time, as well as exhibitions of the work
of some of the best of contemporary instrument makers worldwide.
Parallel
to the exhibition of instruments, special musical seminars
and "master-classes" are organized at regular
intervals featuring some of the foremost master-musicians of the
traditional music from all over the world.
In the instrument- making workshop, courses in the construction of musical
instruments will be offered for luthiers interested in broadening their
knowledge in new directions. For this purpose master craftsmen from
various traditions will be invited to share their knowledge with the
participants in these courses.
On the beautiful surrounding grounds of Labyrinth, during the summer
months, concerts
are frequently presented featuring some of the foremost exponents of
traditional musical idioms from all over the world.
The
Musical Workshop Labyrinth was inaugurated on September 5, 2002 amid a
wonderful musical atmosphere. Concerts with top exponents of the
traditional music from different countries such as Bulgaria, India, Persia
and Greece were held on September 5 and 6, thus inaugurating the opening
of a multi-cultural centre. More than 3,000 people from all around Crete
and other parts of Greece and abroad attended the concerts.
