Rhythmic Elements for the Lyre Player

To be a musician, as we are always insisting, implies much more than a knowledge of Harmony, which is only one part of the musician’s equipment, on the same level as the sciences of Rhythm, of Meter, of Instruments. — Aristoxenus of Tarentum
In our endeavour to rediscover ancient Greek music, Aristoxenus of Tarentum is without a doubt the most valuable source. A researcher of mousikē, which in ancient times encompassed all the Muses’ gifts—song, dance, and poetry—Aristoxenus sought to study and explain the underlying rhythmic patterns that govern them all, starting at the beginning, with the metric podas or foot, and advancing to the complexities of rhythmical structure.
All these he included in his work Rhythmic Elements, the second most important—after Harmonic Elements—of his surviving treatises. This seminal work remains the most important resource on rhythm for the student of ancient music, who faces, however, an almost insurmountable problem.

🎶 LUTHIEROS & SEIKILO ARE COMING TO LONDON 🇬🇧

We are delighted to announce that on June 22, 2026, the ancient Greek lyre will be presented for the very first time at the prestigious Guildhall School of Music & Drama in London, one of Europe’s most historic and respected music conservatoires.

This invitation is a true honor for us and an important milestone for the revival of the ancient Greek lyre.

As part of the Guildhall Harp Festival 2026, Theodore Koumartzis and Lina Palera from the Seikilo Culture Organization will offer two special events:
🏛️ Meet the Ancestors! A Hands-On Workshop with Ancient Greek Lyres
🕚 11:30–12:30
An interactive workshop where participants will have the opportunity to explore and play authentic replicas of ancient Greek lyres, discovering the instruments that inspired generations of string instruments throughout history.

🎼 Echoes of Antiquity – Music for the Ancient Greek Lyre
🕑 14:15–15:15
A recital by Lina Palera and Theodore Koumartzis featuring reconstructed ancient melodies and contemporary compositions performed on authentic replicas of ancient Greek lyres handcrafted by the LUTHIEROS workshop.

For more than twenty years, our family has been researching, reconstructing and performing on ancient musical instruments. To bring the sound of the ancient Greek lyre to Guildhall for the first time is both a privilege and a responsibility that we deeply appreciate.

📍 Guildhall School of Music & Drama, London

Seconds later, they had the chance to pluck for the first time the strings of an ancient lyre along with their father. A moment that will stay with them forever.

A meeting of tradition, artistry, and rhythm. ✨

Stavros with his new handcrafted bendir, created by our skilled luthier and brought to life with hand-painted artwork inspired by the spirit and symbolism of Ancient Greece. Every detail tells a story, turning this instrument into more than a drum, it’s a piece of living art.

Honored to capture this unique creation and the passion behind it. 🏺🎶
