Zither Events This Weekend in Santorini

About Zither

Zither music encompasses a diverse family of stringed instruments characterized by strings stretched across a shallow, neckless soundbox. Originating from Central European folk traditions and Ancient Greek kithara roots, the genre utilizes thumb-plucked melodies against finger-strummed accompaniment. The rhythmic structure often adheres to traditional Alpine folk dances like the Ländler or maintains a fluid, rubato tempo in more contemplative solo performances. Its mood ranges from rustic cheerfulness to serene nostalgia, occupying a unique semantic space between folk, classical, and world music while remaining structurally related to the hammered dulcimer and psaltery.

Also known as: Citera
