Welcome to the ILS Newsletter!
We publish our newsletter once per month and presents carefully curated content dedicated to the ancient Greek musical tradition and its living legacy.
Each issue includes:
• News and official announcements from the International Lyre Society.
• Information on concerts, lectures, educational programs, and student enrolments.
• A short original article on ancient Greek music theory and modal harmony.
• Stories and anecdotes from the Greek musical world.
• Historical facts and insights from the ancient Greek world, with a focus on music and the arts.
• Research highlights and selected publications related to the ancient Greek seven-stringed lyre.
This page also provides access to previous editions of the newsletter, allowing readers to explore past issues and follow the evolving work of the International Lyre Society over time.
By subscribing, you become part of a growing international community dedicated to the study, transmission, and contemporary practice of ancient Greek music. Each monthly issue is more than an update. It is an invitation to reconnect with a tradition that shaped Western musical thought, philosophy, and artistic expression.
Through theory, history, storytelling, and practice, we connect the ancient lyre with the present.
Whether you are a musician, scholar, student, or simply curious about the foundations of music and culture, this newsletter offers a thoughtful and inspiring point of contact.
We approach the revival of the ancient lyre not as a nostalgic gesture, but as an act of continuity. Join us and be part of it!
