Yannis, along with Argy Kakissis, are the founders of the Symposion in Santorini, a place of culture and ancient-inspired events. • // What is a Pan Flute or Syrnix? • Pan Flute (also known as panpipes or syrinx) is a musical instrument based on the principle of the closed tube, consisting of multiple pipes of gradually increasing length (and occasionally girth). Multiple varieties of pan flutes have been popular as folk instruments. The pipes are typically made from bamboo, giant cane, or local reeds. Other materials include wood, plastic, metal, and ivory. • // How old is the Pan Flute? • Evidence of the existence of the straight-formed Greek pan flute (syrinx) around 2500 B.C.E. has been found on the Cyclades Islands in the Aegean Sea. It disappears from Greek history for a while but reappears in the 7th century B.C.E. • When Greece was conquered by Rome, many aspects of Greek culture were adopted, including the syrinx, which was known to the Romans as the auenis. Archaeologists excavating the site of the Roman colony of Alisia (in modern France) found a diatonically-tuned auenis, and a well-preserved auenis made of boxwood was unearthed in 2004 at the former site of Tagetium, in Switzerland. • Frescoes depicting pan flute players have been found in the ruins of Pompeii, preserved by volcanic ash from the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 C.E., and an excellent mosaic depicting an auenis player was discovered in Tunis (formerly Carthage, in Tunisia). • In Tristia , Ovid speaks of the pan flute (most likely the syrinx) used by the shepherds of the Roman colony of Tomis (present-day Constantza in Romania), where he lived in exile after his banishment from Rome. • // What is Symposion? • La Ponta, the Greek Bagpipe Exhibition and Workshop, was established by Argy Kakissis and Yannis Pantazis in 2012 in the Venetian castle of Akrotiri. Over the next six years, La Ponta’s work earned local and international renown. • In 2018, La Ponta expanded and relocated to a former winery from the turn of the century, in the traditional village of Megalochori, and began a new chapter as Symposion by La Ponta. • Symposion's programming is influenced by Greek mythology's timeless relevance to life as it is lived today. Inspired by the nine Muses, Symposion offers guests a unique experience through interactive tours, workshops, vintage instrument exhibitions, and original performances. Symposion’s programming caters to adults and children, the local community, and global travelers alike. • Symposion's architecturally unique premises in Megalochori, built at the turn of the last century by the master artisan and winemaker Zorzis Ioannis Saliveros, once housed his winemaking facilities and his livestock. Megalochori is a settlement that dates back to the 17th century and its historic homes and traditional character has been carefully preserved. Symposion has been renovated with careful attention to the unique character of the buildings, their place within village life, and within the island’s storied history. • Find the perfect ancient musical instrument for you at http://www.luthieros.com/ • Find out more about Symposion (Santorini) at https://www.symposionsantorini.com/ • Visit LyreAcademy.com to learn how to play the lyre and other ancient musical instruments: https://lyreacademy.com/ • Follow (and like) us on Facebook; • / luthieros • Find us on Instagram; • / luthieros • For more videos like this, subscribe on our YouTube Channel: • / @seikilo
