Floudia (Mihas, Konstantourou, Karydis) ǀ Florence Cats

The 14th season of KET begins on Thursday, October 2, with a special evening of experimental sound and free improvisation, featuring beloved musicians from New York, Athens, and Brussels.

🔷 With Stelios Mihas on electric guitar, Katerina Konstantourou on piano, and Nikos Karydis on trumpet and double bass, the Floudia trio moves between free and structured improvisation. In its second appearance at KET Floudia develops patterns and techniques inspired by Morton Feldman and John Cage, with microtonal tuning and sonic passages that balance between static and flow.

Stelios Mihas: guitarist and composer active in experimental, improvisational, and electroacoustic music. He has presented his work at festivals and venues in Greece and abroad, exploring the sound of the electric guitar with an emphasis on timbre and microtonality.
