Greek art of living meets Balkan grooves in Duisburg
On Saturday, November 14, 2026, the duo Χελώνα (Chelóna) will bring the musical diversity of Greece and the Balkans to the stage at Das PLUS on Neumarkt. The concert starts at 7:00 PM and combines Rembetiko, Greek pop music, works by Mikis Theodorakis, and other melodies from Southeastern Europe into an immediate concert experience.
Between melancholy and exuberant movement
Rembetiko is considered the Greek blues from the 1920s to the 1940s. In this music, romantic sensitivity, tragic weight, and a powerful, life-affirming rhythm are closely intertwined. Χελώνα translates these tensions into an intimate stage performance where singing, string sounds, and violin merge into a colorful sound.
Guitar, singing, and violin in direct dialogue
Aloys Andre takes on guitar and vocals, while Ulrike Steinborn shapes the evening with the violin. The reduced lineup focuses on musical synchronization, the expressiveness of voices, and the subtle changes between melody and rhythm. Every note has space, every phrase carries the character of handcrafted music.
An evening for curious ears
The program ranges from selected Rembetiko songs to classics by Greek composer Mikis Theodorakis, modern Greek pop music, and other Balkan melodies. This creates a concert evening that intertwines tradition and present and makes the cultural diversity of Southeastern Europe audible.
Solidarity hat event at Das PLUS on Neumarkt
The concert is part of the series ANNOUNCED at Das PLUS on Neumarkt. The series stands for predominantly homemade, handcrafted music and a solidarity event model: Admission is free, the event takes place as a voluntary hat event. Those who can give more support the appreciation of artistic work.
