Stelios Petrakis Quartet
UW Memorial Union-Play Circle 800 Langdon St., Madison, Wisconsin 53706
Blending music from around the world with tunes from the Greek island of Crete, Stelios Petrakis’s quartet boldly enlivens ancient music for a contemporary audience. Featuring Petrakis on the lyra; brothers Andonis and Giorgos Stavrakakis on mandolin and laouto; and dancer Thanassis Mavrokostas, Petrakis’ arrangements on songs like “Kontylies-Pentozali” are as complex as they are whimsical.
