THE IONIAN ISLANDS: HISTORY AND HERITAGE

About
Illustrated talk by Alfred Vincent, music by Makis Voutsinas and Thanasis PylarinosThe Ionian islands of Kefalonia, Zakynthos, Ithaki, Kerkyra, Paxoi and Lefkada, together with Kythera, have a special profile in the modern history and culture of Greece, owing to their geographical position and the experience of Venetian and then British rule. Having researched intensively on Greece under the Venetians, Alfred Vincent will describe some effects of this distinct history on the islands’ music, poetry, art and traditional life, as well as reminding us of Ionian contributions to Italian culture. The talk will be in Greek, with a detailed English summary and illustrations on Powerpoint.
