The Rodotopi Guitar Ensemble on Tour in Switzerland

For the second consecutive year, the Rodotopi Guitar Ensemble (RGE) will carry out an international music project under the auspices and with the financial support of the Hellenic Ministry of Culture, following the positive evaluation of its proposal titled “Musical Bridges with Greek Communities in Switzerland” within the framework of the “Creative Greece” program.

Specifically, the RGE, responding to invitations from the Hellenic Community of Zurich and the Association of Greeks of Lausanne “Estia”, will be in Switzerland from September 4–7, 2025, to present concerts in both cities, as well as an interactive workshop on Greek song.

The ensemble’s concert program features Greek songs and selected orchestral arrangements, aiming to promote the works of Greek composers abroad and to strengthen the connection of the diaspora with Greek culture.

It is worth noting that the Ministry’s approval process involves the evaluation of multiple criteria, concerning both the transparency and legal operation of the applicant organization (submission of tax records, minutes, court documents, statutes, etc.) and the documentation of the artistic proposal (description, objectives, collaborations, invitations, etc.).

The RGE warmly thanks:

🔷 The Hellenic Community of Zurich and the Association of Greeks of Lausanne “Estia” for their invitation and excellent cooperation in preparing the events.

🔷 The Ministry of Culture for its financial support and patronage of the project.

🔷 The Municipality of Zitsa for supporting the ensemble’s initiatives originating in the municipality and the wider Ioannina region.
