"Skiagrafies IV" is the fourth installment of the “Skiagrafies” cycle, a group of works that explore the concept of shadows. It was inspired by a line uttered by Ulysses in Sophocles’ “Ajax”: “For I see that all we who live are nothing more than phantoms or fleeting shadow” (trans. Richard Jebb).

The concert features works of Greek composers of the Diaspora and also includes works by John Psathas, Dimitri Andrikopoulos, Thanasis Deligyiannis and Calliopi Tsoupaki.
