“PRISON SONGS OF THE MEDITERRANEAN”

MusiX Lab, Athens Concert Hall (Megaron Musikis)
Vas. Sofias Ave. & Kokkali St. 1, 115 21 Athens
Thursday 3 and Friday 4 June 2027
Hosted by the Friends of Music Society
[ Σύλλογος Οι Φίλοι της Μουσικής ]

In 2026, during the symposium of the Mediterranean Music Study Group of the ICTMD
at Ege University in Izmir, a dedicated prison song strand was scheduled for the final day
of the symposium, to great interest from a wide variety of scholars. As a continuation of
that original launch, we are now organising a full conference on the same topic, which
will be held in Athens at the start of June 2027. Our intention is to expand and build on
the work already done.

Athens is a particularly appropriate locale for our conference, because the development
of Greek music, both popular and classical, is inextricably linked to experiences of
imprisonment during Greece’s two periods of fascism.

We gratefully acknowledge the support of The Friends of Music Society in hosting us.
If you wish to propose a paper, or would like to register to attend the conference, write to
