Full program notes

The Kombos Collective presents the critically acclaimed Uproot, a powerful program of Greek songs from Asia Minor. In collaboration with rembetiko interpreter Katerina Clambaneva, the ensemble performs modern arrangements of Greek music from the region, celebrating this vibrant musical heritage and capturing the refugee experience through song. Uproot weaves histories and personal stories throughout, generating a universal dialogue about the impact of forced migration and building a bridge to the experience of modern-day refugees.

“For Kombos Collective’s Katerina Clambaneva, Ellie Falaris Ganelin, Emma Selmon, and Mary-Victoria Voustas, the sense of accomplishment of bringing together the heritage of Greek songs and framing them against the refugee experience in such a way that they are not only seismic and beautiful, they resonate with the echoes of all who have found the need to evacuate, to settle in lands not of their own toil across time itself.” —Ian D. Hall, Liverpool Sound and Vision
