Years later the little boy, Nikos Skalkottas
observing the sea currents from the bridge
of the fairy tale named Bridge of Evripos
... very strange name don’t you think...?
created his own unique music not only with
7 notes but with 12 along with two great
music teachers Kurt (Kurt Weill) and Arlond
(Arlond Schoenberg)
As the years went by, the hero of our story
continued to believe in musical bridges and
continued to fight dragons, even in old age.
So he decided to study music and become a composer. Soon he composed
36 Greek Dances for orchestra to honοr the people of these cities.
And like all fairy tales they all lived well, ever after, and so did we, because we
read the story of the Different bridge and learned that through music, cooperation
and solidarity we can defeat all kind of Dragons, no matter how terrible they are!
