DECATUR, Ill. – Millikin University’s School of Writing, Languages & Cultures and the School of Music proudly present the Greek musical trio StarWound in concert on Friday, October 18 at 7:30 p.m. in Kaeuper Hall in the Perkinson Music Center on Millikin’s campus. The concert is free and open to the public.
Starting in 2012 as a five-member band and now a trio since 2019, StarWound is based in Athens, Greece, and consists of three musicians: Konstantina Stavropoulou (vocals, synthesizer), Petros Bouras (piano, synthesizer) and Dimitris Azorakos (drums). The group’s songs reflect upon the philosophical and social dimensions of the human condition and fuse a cabaret ambiance with elements of EDM and synth rock genres.
“Interiors” delves into the effects of isolation and social disruption from the COVID-19 pandemic through poetry and song. The goal is to provide musical accompaniment to original poetic compositions provided by each collaborating institution and present these songs in a multifaceted and multi-institutional concert program, based on the thematic concept of “Interiors.”
StarWound will perform “Interiors” at Millikin as a part of the group’s six-university tour this fall, and the performance will include original compositions with lyrics written by faculty from the universities the band is traveling to. Also, during the concert, some of our very own Millikin students will read their poetry while StarWound plays. Come out and support Millikin’s poets and enjoy this fascinating performance.
StarWound has released three albums: 2015’s “Miles to Walk,” 2018’s “So Wrong,” and 2024’s “What Do You See?”
