Yiorgos Bereris presents his new album Sea in Common.
Moving between jazz and world music, Yiorgos Bereris draws inspiration from Greek and Balkan traditions, bringing together a band of outstanding musicians featuring violin, viola, double bass, drums, and himself on the piano.
His new album Sea in Common was conceived through journeys across the Mediterranean and the Balkans. It reflects shared soundscapes — sea and wind, the hum of cities, festive gatherings, and the steady pulse of everyday life — transforming these impressions into a musical language that feels both intimate and expansive.
This concert is part of an album release tour with performances in more than six countries across Europe.
Yiorgos Bereris is a Greek pianist and composer based in Rotterdam. In recent years he has collaborated with musicians from the European jazz and world music scene such as Kudsi Erguner, Alba Careta, Tereza Catarov, Kyriakos Sfetsas, and Tristan Driessens. He has performed at venues and festivals including North Sea Jazz Festival, Athens Jazz Festival, Nisville Jazz Festival, Casa Milà (La Pedrera), Jamboree (Barcelona), Assejazz (São Paulo), the Greek National Opera, Vortex (London), JazzX (Timișoara), and the Boston Conservatory Theater (USA).
Following his previous works Laros and Sigá y Silente, Bereris continues to refine a compositional voice that is distinctive and assured, further consolidating his artistic identity.

A TRE VOCI
Three singers from three different countries, united by their love of three-part harmonies, share their passion. With only three voices, countless extraordinary melodies, harmonies, and rhythms have been created around the world.
In many polyphonic cultures, three-part singing forms the foundation of local vocal traditions. In Georgia, the three voices are known as Modzakhili, Mtkmeli, and Bani; in Corsica as Terza, Seconda, and Bassu; in Bistritsa, Bulgaria, they are called Okane, Buchat pravo, and Buchat krivo — and the list goes on.
In A Tre Voci, the three voices are Maryana Golovchenko, Nadine Rossello, and Tatiana Lina. Come and experience their interpretations of Corsican, Ukrainian, Bulgarian, Georgian, and other traditional songs.
Each singer brings her own expertise to this experimental project.
Maryana Golovchenko is a singer, musician, cultural entrepreneur, and researcher. Her current focus lies in combining traditional music from Eastern Europe and Ukraine with contemporary musical styles — from classical to jazz and electronic music — as well as with musical traditions from other countries and continents.
Nadine Rossello is a singer, musician, composer, choir conductor, and trainer, specialising in Mediterranean songs and both traditional and contemporary Corsican polyphony.
Tatiana Lina is a singer, musician, composer, choir conductor, and researcher. For more than twenty years, she has studied traditional polyphonic music from various countries and shares this knowledge with her choirs and vocal ensembles.
This concert will be part of the CULTURE UNLIMITED FESTIVAL 2026.
