Iasi Ensemble is an international musical ensemble, created by the musician - composer Iasonas Psarakis in collaboration with music producer Nikolas Gkinis, and a diverse set of musicians from India, Iran, Kurdistan and Greece. The ensemble hopes to soothe the souls of people across the globe through the healing qualities of art and the union of diverse forms of arts and culture. They have received many awards by recognized International Music and Film Festivals for their creations, compositions, and arrangements in the music and film industry.
The name of their debut music album, “Astris,” comes from Greek Mythology. Astris was a star-nymph; daughter of the Greek sun-god, Helios, and wife of the Indian river-god, Hydaspes. She symbolizes the sacred marriage of two different cultures and histories. Similarly, elements of Indian Classical Music – Persian Classical Music – Sufi Music – Ancient Greek Music – Baul and New Age Music – have been meticulously harmonized to create an original and unique music genre. An ethereal painting where one is enriched by the dissolving of boundaries and surrender of cultures to a new multicultural rebirth that expands beyond limited world views. The album has been honored with the Silver Medal at the Global Music Awards 2023 in California, USA.
