 Mykonos 
     
2023

A one week workshop on the Greek island of Mykonos in its 10th year.  In a private villa surrounded on 3 sides by the Aegean Sea. With 4 hours of performance workshopping per day, 10 singers, 4 cars at your disposal, your own pool and magnificent outdoor space for coffee in the sun and dinner under the nearly overwhelming stars and Mykonian moon. Breakfast and lunch included in your stay. This passionate Mediterranean country is a magical place to make music. The week is not designed like a sleep-away camp with activities all day long, this is a grown up vacation to be enjoyed as you see fit in these glorious surroundings. Folks come back again and again because it's something very special....something with a touch of...well...magic.

"Lets get outta Here!" 

With our first 4 day workshop in Puerto Vallarta Mexico under our belts earlier this year, we are highly recommending this glorious (warm!) winter get-away for 2024. With the fabulous club INCANTO hosting the 4-hour morning sessions (and Beckie Menzie from Chicago on the keys) we made music, worked on performance, repertoires and started full shows. The afternoons and evenings were ours to individually or collectively do with what we wanted. Beach waking, pool hopping, glorious long dinners and gorgeous views of the Pacific. Taking 8 singers.

DIRECTOR

With numerous awards as Director, Koutrakos builds a framework that showcases who an individual is while weaving that into an honest, entertaining and seamless show for the solo singer. With both instinct and skill Lina fine focuses each singers vision of themselves into a one of kind performance. From the music and the spoken word to the arc of the piece itself, every show is highly crafted for and unique to its performer.
