About Iambus
Iambus is an organization created upon the following principles:
1) the Greek civilization lies at the heart of the WesternWorld's civilization, indeed at the heart of our modenr Global culture.
2) the Greek contribution is the foundation of our current civilization's thought processes as in philosophy and science, as well as in the basic aesthetics or art.
3) throughout history and despite setbacks and turmoil, the Greeks have continuously been explorers, enterpreneurs, thinkers and artists of the highest caliber.
4) Music is of all the art forms the most fleeting. It cannot be captured on canvas and recordings and scores do not adequately register a record of a performance or of the mark it leaves in the listener's heart.
5) Music is of all the art forms the most widely used. We use music in all our celebrations, our parties, our weddings, our funerals, our worship.
6) Music is of all the art forms the most healing, the one that touches our lives more profoundly.
7) The creation of a music score of quality, the performance of music at the highest level requires very committed, very intense training and a high intellect. World class musicians become so at great sacrifice.
8) Greece has a very high concentration of highly trained, top quality musicians that display an individuality instilled and engrained in their culture, an individuality that makes them exceptional and can tremendously enrich the world music scene.
9) In order to make a contribution in the international music scene, highly trained classical musicians should enjoy more visibility in Greece and abroad.
11) Iambus makes it its mission to increase the visibility of Greek highly-trained musicians of world quality in the classical, byzantine and traditional (folk) music areas online and through live performances. Inclusion of the visual arts and dance where our musical goals are complemented will be considered. We shall start with feasible baby steps but the sky is the limit.
12) Through the international exposure of Greek musicians and Hellenic music, Iambus hopes to achieve a wave of creativity, productivity and a niche export industry for the modern Greek culture, as well as a ray of optimism for the people of Greece.
10) Classical music education, exposure to the creation of music benefits the intellectual and emotional growth of children. Iambus will support outreach programs that will increase the appreciation of Hellenic music and of the high level of our artists among the young people of Greece.
11) Iambus will partner with Private Cultural Organizations and Sponsors to achieve its goals.
12) Iambus is actively seeking to identify music agents that would like to engage world class artists of Hellenic origin and who would like to help Hellenic music take its proper place in the world scene.
13) Iambus welcomes proposals about projects that fall within its scope as stated. Iambus welcomes the interest of artists that would like to increase their visibility with our help.
