Skopelos Music Festival and Singing Workshops

The Skopelos Music Festival is an annual event taking place on the 
'Mama Mia' island of Skopelos, Greece. The two-day Skopelos Singing Workshops are held annually to coincide with the festival.

Skopelos Singing Workshops 2018 are to be held on June 30th and July 1st

 

In past years, performers at the festival include local singers and musicians of many nationalities as well as invited guests. Performances take place across many venues in Skopelos town throughout the week of the Festival.  

 

Along with Skiathos to the west and Alonissos to the east, Skopelos is one of the Sporades group of islands situated directly north of Athens on the eastern side of the Greek mainland.  Having no airport, the island has remained unspoilt and is designated as one of three areas in Greece of 'outstanding natural beauty'.    

 

2017 Singing Workshops on Skopelos

 

The 2017 Singing Workshops on Skopelos took place over the weekend of  Saturday 1st and Sunday 2nd July 2017 with performances during the following week on Tuesday 4th and Wednesday 5th July.

 

We were delighted to be joined by well-known Greek tenor Stathis Karagiorgis, as well as pianist Nikos Adraskelas from Horto on the Pelion and flautist Eleftheria Fragoudaki from Volos.  We performed again at the beautiful Livadiotissa Monastery and for the first time in Orfeas cinema.  This venue proved to be very successful with a very good acoustic and it drew a large audience.  The concert were supported by The Cultural Association of Skopelos and by the Municipality.

 

Unfortunately, given the natural disaster that befell the island in September 2015, and with ongoing repairs to buildings and roads on the island, there was again no Music Festival.  Please however check out the Skopelos Music Festival page for information regarding past events.
