From Stars to Song: ‘Asterismyth’ at the Hill of the Nymphs

Orion, Cassiopeia, Pegasus—they’re not just in the sky. This Thursday, June 12, they come alive in music blending jazz, Greek folk, and ancient myth at the Athens Observatory

Experience a magical summer evening under the Athenian sky as Asterismyth, a captivating musical project by composer Stefanos Kozanis, comes to life at the historic National Observatory of Athens on the Hill of the Nymphs.

This 12-part music suite draws inspiration from the constellations and the mythical figures that gave them their names. Each piece—named after a constellation like Orion, Cassiopeia, Pegasus, and Cygnus—blends elements of jazz, classical, and Greek traditional music, accompanied by poetry and narration.

Featuring three original songs with lyrics by Katerina Konstantinou and one by Dimitris Margaritis, Asterismyth creates a rich, dreamlike atmosphere that bridges astronomy, mythology, and music.
