Project for an Opera

Invitation for the years 2020/2021/2022 to perform the opera “Helike Athanatos” in ancient Greek!

Free accommodation in Hellenikon Idyllion for up to 60 Musicians for 10 to 14 days!

Dear Professors of Classic and Contemporary Music,

I would like to present to you a new project with the plea to earnestly consider to be a part of the premiere of a new opera. The first part of the act is set in ancient Greece and the second in our time; it is about the tragic story of the sunken city Helike from the year 373 B.C. situated in the Peloponnese, which has been in the process of excavation for many years now. The Libretto has been performed several times as a play now. There has been an advertisement for the plot to be set into music as well, and the results are now on hand as full score.
Concerning the practice of the opera, the most fitting performance would of course be close to the sunken city itself; and exactly that I would like to offer:

“Hellenikon Idyllion” is an artistic-cultural site at the north-west coast of Peloponnese in Greece and can be used for rehearsals and performances as well as accommodation for an orchestra with choir. Therefore, I am offering you and your students free accommodation for 10 to 14 days for this practice/performance project. ”Hellenikon Idyllion” is right next to the beach and has all the necessary artistic inventory and performance stages. As a cultural exchange project, you could even receive financial aid for your trip from support programs!

To avoid language barriers, the opera is also available in phonetic translation of the Old Greek in Latin writing. There is also a German, English and modern Greek version of the piece to be able to project the text. Hence there is no knowledge of Greek needed to work on the project. The line-up for the opera should be modelled after the minimum size of a typical symphony orchestra. Duration of the composition: ca. 90 minutes. There are two/three performances planned in local ancient theatres. The musical version of the libretto is a result of an international competition. You will get the first three award-winning recordings in full score version to choose from.

For more information: Since 1990 there have been more than 150 choirs and orchestras at our cultural holiday place. Hellenikon Idyllion, also called Garden of the Muses, is situated in Selianitika, right by the ocean and close to the city Egion. Big choirs and orchestras have the opportunity to sing and play music with a Mediterranean atmosphere in our 4000 m² garden with fruit, olive trees and lawn to catch some sun. There are two roofed stages with big forecourts, a glass pavilion with a grand piano (Schimmel), several pianos and e-pianos, a cello, a contrabass and a kettledrum.

Furthermore, professors and their students are cordially invited to stay at Hellenikon Idyllion for free for a week as of now, so they can get an idea of the place on-site. The performance of the project is planned for 2019/2020/2021, so that we can book capacities accordingly. For example, an ideal date would be within the first three weeks of September.

We are looking forward to hearing from you! Let us know if you have any questions.

You will get details regarding the score with comments from the jury clicking on the following link:

Abstract painting courses with Christian Pietschiny

One hour per day for free!

-FLOW Art courses as described below

Details:

Pietschiny has developed an opportunity of artistic expression through FLOW-paintings. These are colourful paintings which draw their energy from the moment of their becoming. It is the FLOW which Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi, professor of happiness economics at the university of Chicago, has named “The secret of happiness”.

In a simple and playful way you will discover skills which you might not have guessed yet and which might have a happy influence on your life.

The course is also ideal for anyone who is interested but did not have any joy when drawing in school.

Content and duration can be varied on request. For example, weekend courses, weekly courses and daily courses. (Minimum duration 45 minutes for a trial course)

For interested people and seriously disabled people, Pietschiny also offers one-to-one lessons.

Languages: German and English, a little bit of French.

Option: The FLOW-course can also be booked in addition to a FLOW-sculpture course. The materials will be discussed in advance. They could for example be findings from the beach or nature, wood planks, used things or other natural materials.

SHORT BIOGRAPHY

Pietschiny was born in Landshut close to Munich in 1964. He did not like Arts in school, because he was not allowed to draw what he wanted to draw – abstract expressionism. Inspired by pictures of Antoni Gaudi’s architecture, he studied construction engineering and architecture and gained experiences with big projects. At the age of 30 it was time for the artistic path, which started with important impulses in the U.S., San Francisco in 1994. Later on, inspired by his atelier by the Cote d’Azur (close to Monaco) he started relief-like painting and invented the Yamoon manner of painting. Several exhibitions internationally followed. In 2007 he moved to river Elbe in Coswig (Anhalt), south of Berlin, where he discovered a big house opposite of the castle as atelier. He is living the mastery of FLOW, which also enables him to view the world with a clear vision.

The Hellenikon Idyllion in collaboration with the Helike Society offers the possibility to its visitors and guests to combine their stay in the Hellenikon Idyllion with an opportunity to attend a Seminar offered in Greek Archaeology and Culture in the framework of the ongoing research work in the nearby site of ancient Helike about 14 km east of Selianitika. The Seminar includes lectures (a) on the archaeology of the Helike area, the ancient capital of Achaia, (b) introduction to Greek archaeology and ancient Greek sources, and (c) on conservation work of archaeological finds from the excavations. See program below.
Ancient Helike
Ancient Helike is on the southwest shore of the Gulf of Corinth near Aigion in Achaia, about 170 km west of Athens. Helike was founded in the Mycenaean period by Ion, the leader of the Ionian race and became the capital of the Twelve Cities of ancient Achaea. In its territory, was located the famous sanctuary of Poseidon Helikonios, mentioned already in Homer. Poseidon’s fine head is shown on the bronze coins of Helike together with its main symbols, the trident and the dolphin, and the inscription ELIK.

The Classical city of Helike was destroyed in 373 BC by a violent earthquake which greatly impressed the ancients and is mentioned by many writers from the Classical period on down to the Byzantine times. Helike’s catastrophe by the earthquake and invading sea waters is considered to have inspired the Greek philosopher Plato to describe the destruction of the mythical land of Atlantis.

“Speak and Philosophize Today in Ancient Greek”… for our 27th year!

Speak classical Greek and relate thoughts of wisdom in the Garden of the Muses with Mr Florian Feicht, ancient Greek teacher of high school in Berlin.
A project funded by Andreas Drekis, Hellenikon Idyllion

Ἀκμάζοντος τοῦ θέρους κατὰ τὸ σύνηθες φίλαι καὶ φίλοι μέν τινες φιλέλληνες ἐν τῷ καλουμένῳ κήπῳ τῶν Μουσῶν ἁθροίσονται ὡς συναττικίσοντες. Οὗτος δὲ ὁ κῆπος, μέγας καὶ ἐπίσκιος καὶ παραθαλάττιος ὤν, εὑρίσκεται ἐν τῷ Ἑλληνικῷ Εἰδυλλίῳ. Κάλλιστοι οὖν ἔσονται οἱ διάλογοι πολλῶν καὶ ἄλλων φιλελλήνων τῶν λόγων μετεχόντων.
∆ιὰ μὲν οὖν τοῦτο παρακαλοῦμεν πάσας καὶ πάντας ὑμᾶς ἐκ πάσης τῆς οἰκουμένης, αἳ/οἳ χαίρετε τῇ τῶν ἀρχαίων σοφίᾳ καὶ τοῖς λόγοις αὐτῶν, προσελθόντες συνδιαλέγεσθαι ἡμῖν. Ποία δὲ γενήσεται ἡ διδασκαλία; ∆ὶς τοι τῆς ἡμέρας ἐν τόπῳ χαρίεντι συλλεγόμεθα καὶ ἀναγιγνώσκομεν γράμματα ἀξιώτατα τῶν ἀρχαίων ἐξηγούμενοι αὐτὰ κατὰ τὸ ἔθος τῶν φιλολόγων καὶ φιλοσοφούμενοι περὶ τῶν νοημάτων αὐτῶν.
Οὐδενὶ δὲ ἀνάγκη ἔσται ἐξ ἀρχῆς ἀττικιστὶ ὥσπερ Γοργίας μακροὺς λόγους προφέρειν. Ἔξεστι γὰρ παντὶ τὸ πρῶτον μόνον ἀκροατὴς γενέσθαι. Ἀλλὰ ταχέως ὄψεσθε ὡς ῥαδίως ταῖς τῶν ἀρχαίων Ἑλλήνων λέξεσιν διαλεγόμεθα. Μελέτη γὰρ τὸ πᾶν, ὥς φησι Περίανδρος.
Ἡ δὲ ἐν τῷ Ἑλληνικῷ Εἰδυλλίῳ διαγωγὴ οὐ μονον ἐκ διαλόγων σύγκειται, ἀλλὰ καὶ ἄλλα γένοιτο ἄν πολλά. Πολλάκις γὰρ μουσικοί τε καὶ ἄλλοι τινὲς παιδείαν τιμῶντες ἐν τῷ Ἑλληνικῷ Εἰδυλλίῳ διατρίβουσιν, ὥστε συναυλίαι καὶ ἀκροάσεις τινὲς γίγνονται ἑσπέρας. Καὶ οἷόν τε ἂν εἴη ἄλλον τόπον θεάσασθαι καὶ δρᾶμά τι ἐν ἀρχαίῳ τινὶ θεάτρῳ.
Ἐάν τι πλέον καὶ ἀκριβέστερον θέλητε μαθεῖν – περὶ μάλιστα τῆς νυκτερινῆς διαμονῆς καὶ τῶν δωματίων καὶ τῶν λοιπῶν – εἰκὸς ἄν εἴη ὑμᾶς ἐν καιρῷ πυθέσθαι τοῦ τῆς διδασκαλίας καθηγητοῦ

Dear Classical Greek enthusiasts,

You are invited to speak in the tongue of the philosophers in the "Garden of the Muses" located next to the beach at NW-Peloponnese considered the heart of the classical Greece territory.

In our musical-cultural meeting place, Hellenikon Idyllion, we offer different courses in Classical Greek. There are three courses you can choose from:

1. "Speak and Philosophize Today in Ancient Greek"

This is a Group Course taught by Mr. Florian Feicht, philologist.

The duration of this course is 12 days (3 hours per day) and will take place between the 20th of July and the 3rd of August.

Fees for this course will be 300 Euros per person including accommodation expences.(in a shared room - contact us for a single room).

During this course you will actively talk and philosophize in Classical Greek. This year participants will discuss texts from Epikur.

 

2."Classical and Modern Greek-Talk and Philosophize’’for Greek Scholars,Pupils and Students.

Course Tutor will be Ms. Antonia Kyrilou, Classical Philologist, specialized in Ancient Greek literature and theater.

This Course will take place from 20 July – to 3 August and / or from 17th – to 31st August 2019.

For registration and further information about the course send your e-mail to : info@idyllion.eu

If several people are interested, it is also possible to take the 2nd course (90min./ 9 hours total per week) in small groups at the same day after the group course with Mr. Feicht.

Expenses for this course will be 80 Euros per 2 weeks (Minimum number of participants at this price: 4 persons / 2 weeks)

In this course texts from Aristotle and Plato will be discussed, using Erasmian and Modern Greek pronunciation. By doing so you will better understand the continuity of the Greek language and also be able to learn Modern Greek more easily.

3. Modern Greek learning specially for Classical Greek Scholars

Dates: 31st October – 15th November; other dates also possible.

With our teacher Ms. Antonia Kyrilou in collaboration with the association EPISTOA, www.epistoa.eu

People with previous knowledge of Classical Greek do not have to

start all over again to learn Modern Greek as spelling and a large part of the vocabulary are already known to them. The phonetics of the Erasmian pronunciation with which Classical Greek are taught worldwide and those of the Modern Greek pronunciation with which both ancient and Modern Greek are taught in Greece differ vastly. This is taken into consideration in the above crash course enabling you to learn Modern Greek fast.

EPISTOA is a European initiative to foster and promote European Values – human rights, democracy and the rule of law - and the impact of the Ancient Languages on modern Europe.

IMPORTANT: Special offer for groups of pupils! Do you want to improve your skills in Classical Greek and / or get in contact with Modern Greek? Ms. Kyrilou is available throughout the whole year to teach both of course alternatives.

Timetable may be adjusted to your wish. by writing us an e-mail to:

Intensive Modern Greek for Old Greek connoisseurs, specifically didactically adapted

Modern Greek for people with a background of Ancient Greek

People with some knowledge of Ancient Greek don't need to start from scratch when learning Modern Greek, since the writing and much of the vocabulary are known (or rapidly picked up).
However, the phonetics of modern and Ancient Greek differ markedly, considering the way Ancient Greek is taught in most EU countries.
This crash course takes these specifics into account and thereby allows a fast acquisition of Modern Greek.
The course is organized in small groups and takes place at the Hellenikón Idýllion in Selianitika at the Northern shore of the Peloponnese in Greece. This year it is offered twice:01. to 15. Nov.2019
