Alkistis Misouli Sextet

Est. May 2024

The ensemble was created in May 2024, after Alkistis invited each of the musicians separately in a duo improvisation session. The sextet researches the boundaries between the musical languages of jazz, classical, folk and free improvisation. Based and active primarily in Amsterdam, they had their debut concert in May 2024 in Splendor, having as a guest musician the cornet player, improviser and composer Ben LaMar Gay. They also took part in Roode Bioscoop Sessies 8.0 | RB x Amarte Session and were finalists for The Records 2026.


Rembetronica

Active in Amsterdam

REMPETRONICA is a program of deconstructed and reinterpreted Greek Rempetika (1920s-1960s) and traditional Cypriot folk songs, performed by George Demetriou (CY) and Alkistis Misouli (GR/CY). Using an arsenal of electronics, live effects and prepared instruments, the duo weaves together drone music, modes of the Middle East/Mediterranean, wailing vocals and punk-infused electric guitar and viola. The duo has been active in Amsterdam already for two years, performing concerts around the city and exploring their connection to the music of their roots through their own musical and cultural language.
