Description: The Boston-based ensemble Syn-Aulois performs a wide range of twentieth century Greek art music, rembetika, and contemporary popular music.

The three musicians who make up the group come from a rich variety of musical backgrounds, including jazz, classical music, avant-garde, rock, and Latin music, as well as various styles of folkloric and urban Greek music, and perform on bouzouki, violin, guitar, piano, accordion, percussion, and of course the extraordinary voice of Panayota Haloulakou.
