A Stroll Through Kalavrita (Sheet Music PDF Download)

Kalavrita (Kalavryta) is a town in the mountains of Achaea, Greece. This small town is in a most picturesque setting, with a tragic history that includes the 1943 "Greek Holocaust" in which most adult men in the village were massacred by the German army. The town's natural beauty, combined with its quaint yet lively downtown commercial district, inspired the composer to write this piece. This piece is dedicated to Gerassimos Ioannidis, George Babarakos, and Christina Barlogiani, who organize the "Exploring Brass in Greece" workshop that is often held in Kalavrita.
