A GRAMMY®-winning CLASSICAL VOCAL ALBUM inspired by ancient Greece:
Composer Danaë Xanthe Vlasse honors her heritage with MYTHOLOGIES - a collection of works inspired by Ancient Greek myths. Danaë’s father Marcus (née Vlassopoulos) grew up on the island of Ithaca, once ruled by Homer’s legendary hero, Odysseus.
Centered on vocal works, MYTHOLOGIES celebrates some of the most lasting myths of history and invites listeners to ponder long-standing cultural concepts, such as idolized heroism, divine power, crisis of faith and morality, and the junction of fate and free-will.
