The performers’ Who is Who…
“Vocal” is a music band of Patras in the form of a mixed ensemble, created by Katerina Polymenakou- who is also the conductor- in October 2011. Their aim is the artistic performance of jazz and contemporary compositions, while their repertoire also includes greek, spiritual and traditional songs. The band first appeared on the city’s music scene in March 2012, on the stage of “Lithographion” Theatre, participating in a tango music night. The choral ensemble has performed not only in Patras (University Conference Center, Antique Theater and Epicentro Theater, Ancient Conservatory), but also in other cities (Tripoli, Nafplio, Amfissa, Preveza, Corfu, Sparta). In June 2016, Vocal participated in the 8th Choir Festival “Mikis Theodorakis”, (contesting party) in Nafpaktos, where they won the second prize. Since December 2017, the Vocal team has formed an artistic association, also including choral sets for both children and adults.
