REPOST: @marqueeartstv ⚠️New Concert Alert⚠️

Such an honour to be featured in the radio station I’ve been following since I was a student! Thank you for the warm invitation to a great conversation at NationalRadio @ertofficial_ , Master @xanthoulisnikos , I’m glad to be learning from you! Katerina Leonti on Sound. You can listen to our conversation and recordings showcasing the complete pallet of my voice and soul on the link on my bio & story. Oh and it’s in Grrrrrrreek!

Still on clouds after this incredible journey. Thank you for the invitation, thank you for the trust, thank you for the music 🤍 @londonsymphonyorchestra & @hannigan.barbara

Mahler 4th for a sold out Bozar among friends & family the other night. 🤍

„Hannigan’s orchestral control was outstanding, producing from the players a dazzlingly coloured and finely textured musical response, while the silver-voiced Aphrodite Patoulidou, ululated and declaimed her way through the challenging solo part with supreme confidence.“

“Patoulidou embodied existential loneliness. Aphrodite Patoulidou – an exclamation mark is urgently needed after this name. The voice of this Greek woman from Hannigan's talent development program floated through the room almost unearthly. An appearance like something out of a David Lynch film, a nightshade siren who had to report on the very last things, while the orchestra laid only highly expressive melodies, without any harmonic substructure or further support, under this morbid monologue. Patoulidou not only sang her part, she embodied this existential loneliness with few gestures and looks, vulnerable and strong at the same time.”

„Aphrodite Patoulidou gave an impressive Philharmonie debut. She not only sang in an understandable way with a clear, beautiful and confident voice, but also designed every line of the childishly naive lyrics that tell of the "heavenly joys". She was accompanied sensitively by the orchestra – let's not forget that a fellow singer made sure that the voice was always present over the orchestra. By the way, the Vita of Patoulidou is interesting to read: her repertoire not only ranges from Purcell to Claude Vivier, but she occasionally sings heavy metal and is also artistically versatile outside of music.“

Debut at the @elbphilharmonie with @londonsymphonyorchestra lead by @hannigan.barbara in Claude Vivier’s „Lonely Child“.

Mahler 4rth debut at the amazing @konzerthaus_do, with @hannigan.barbara & @londonsymphonyorchestra. Tonight we’re at @dedoelenrotterdam
