Akronafplia Theater Experience - Vasilis Live with Orchestra

2,000 years of history. One night of music. For the first time, the theatre of Akronafplia Castle hosts a live orchestra and electronic sound on the same stage. Art Monia together with ondéa present, in collaboration with the National Council of Clubs and Centres for UNESCO, under the auspices of the UNESCO Club of Argolis, co-organized by the Region of Peloponnese, the “Akronafplia Theater Experience - Vasilis Live with Orchestra”, on Sunday 13 September 2026, at the Akronafplia Castle Theatre “Evangelia Deilaki” in Nafplio. The performance Vasilis Live with Orchestra moves along the boundaries of live orchestral music and contemporary electronic sound a hybrid musical landscape where different eras, sounds and aesthetics meet and transform on stage. At the heart of the project is Vasilis, composer, producer and live performer, one of the most distinctive creators of the contemporary Greek electronic scene. Through a live performance on piano, synthesizers and electronic elements, he leads a live orchestra and shapes a constantly evolving sonic environment. Strings, electronic sounds and voices create a multidimensional result that moves between memory, pulse and contemporary artistic expression. Original compositions and arrangements, live improvisation and atmospheric soundscapes: the organic sound of the orchestra meets the energy, pulse and repetition of electronic music, while lighting in dialogue with the music reveals the architecture of the Akronafplia Theatre. Sound, light and space become one scenic body. Concept, composition, arrangements, live synths: Vasilis | String direction: Aris Zervas | Vocal coaching & polyphonic arrangement: Konstantina Giannopoulou The venue Akronafplia was not merely the acropolis of Nafplio it was Nafplio itself, from the Mycenaean era until the 15th century. Byzantines, Franks, Venetians and Ottomans each built upon the walls of the other; it was here that Kolokotronis received the city in 1822, and here, for a few years, beat the heart of the first capital of Greece.
