Athens3000

“I took a walk in the woods and came out taller than the trees.” Henry-David Thoreau

A projection into the future of a place with ancient roots is proposed by the Athens3000 group. Its members, artists with different experiences and backgrounds, choose this common place to coexist, experiment and explore unknown fields of expression. Their meeting sets as a condition of the creative process the freedom of improvisation; starting from the dialogue between performing and visual arts, they unite their unique voices in an original universe that springs from the Greek underground scene and connects free jazz with experimental music.

In 2024, an adventurous 12-member music group loosely based in Athens and Kouramades village in Corfu was initiated by Pascal Niggenkemper and Stephanos Chytiris.

We have performed live at Jazzhochburg, in Burg Glanegg near Villach, Austria and at Megaron Athens Concert Hall.
