In this interview with Protagon, Tessie Giannakina and Vangelis Vrachnos discuss the idea behind Home Concerts, a series of house concerts in Thessaloniki inspired by similar initiatives they encountered abroad. They reflect on the unique relationship between musicians and audiences in such intimate settings, the sense of community that emerges when strangers gather around music, and the challenges and rewards of hosting live performances in private homes.
The conversation also explores olipoli’s commitment to supporting original artistic creation and providing space for both established and emerging artists to present their work in meaningful and engaging ways, fostering connection, listening, and cultural exchange beyond conventional concert venues.
