About
àktapha is a group of musicians based in Athens. Rejecting the belief that new music requires "trained" listeners, our group strives to establish honest ways of communication with the audience, while trusting the expressive power of new creations, independent from predetermined styles.
Convinced that music can help people explore their own selves, we collaborate with artists who share our vision in order to create and promote an artistic community that supports the exploration of the individual's self and through that, develops the individual's sensitivity, vulnerability and empathy.
We aim for close and long-term relationships with the artists with whom we work, as well as for a small number of productions, to devote them the necessary time for their development and maturation; hoping that this will make them an oasis in today's hectic urban life.

Educational Activity

Building Performance Practices is a yearly international composition workshop dedicated to collaboration between composers and performers.
Through experimentation, artistic exchange, and shared research, participants develop new works in close dialogue with the ensemble.
The workshop supports an international community committed to independent artistic creation and a deeper engagement with sound beyond conventional production models.
