Every summer since 2006, Music Village Arts Community has been transforming the medieval village of Aghios Lavrentios into a place of symbiosis through art, music performance and education, settled in a natural and architectural habitat of outstanding beauty.
Music Village is organised by arTree, a civil non profit partnership, supported by Demitriada Metropolis, the Local Society of Aghios Lavrentios, the Association of Aghios Lavrentios and the Greek Ministry of Culture.
This year, there will be 18 symbiotic workshops coordinated by 26 instructors with rich artistic, scientific and educational background, experts on sound, movement and theatre. All these workshops and projects will take place during the last two weeks of August and the first week of September, bringing the art of sound in contact with the human body. Subjects such as technology, performance tradition and practice, music production, theatre, dancing, folk and intellectual oral tradition and improvisation will be inspiring various and symbiotic projects, live performances and spontaneous events, as every year happens.
With great impatience, joy and expectation for all the above, we invite students, professionals in music and the performing arts, together with researchers in humanities and teachers, to take part in the Music Village 2024 workshops, collaborative events, lectures and residencies.
In addition, like every other year, Music Village is open to all friends and art lovers who desire to experience the artistic coexistence and osmosis during these days in Aghios Lavrentios.

Detailed information about accommodation and the online application form can also be found on our website.
Looking forward to seeing you!
