Abstract:
The cultural environment where the postwar Greek musical avant-garde was shaped under the promotion and support of institutions, agencies, and individuals, is examined in the present chapter. The review extends across the establishment of the Contemporary Music Lab of the Goethe-Institut Athen (1962) to the ISCM World Music Days (1979), including the five Hellenic Weeks of Contemporary Music (1966, 1967, 1968, 1971, 1976). Furthermore, the role of international Cold-War cultural diplomacy, its agencies and institutes, the presence of the already established Greek institutions (Athens Festival, Greek National Tourism Organization), the new musical ensembles that were founded to perform contemporary music works such as the Athens Expremental Orchestra (1964) and the Hellenic Ensemble of Contemporary Music (1967), as well as the new performers who specialized in the avant-garde repertory and performance experimentation, are also comparatively co-examined.
