ABOUT

The Metapraxis Ensemble is a flexible chamber music group, focusing on presenting contemporary and older music in a common narrative of performance, reinforced by the use of non-musical aids and complements. It was founded by Gregory Emfietzis and Myrto Loulaki in 2009.

Aiming to push the boundaries of music performance, Metapraxis adopt a theatrical approach for their projects: presented as a single unit, they often feature video/film projections, text readings and staging/lighting effects.

Previous performances have taken place in venues around London (Cafe Oto, The Space, Chelsea Theatre, etc) and a number of British universities (Brunel, Huddersfield, Roehampton), as part of their lunchtime/concert series events, research seminars, conferences and festivals.
