Mavrothi Kontanis

Greek Singing

Mavrothi Kontanis is an eternal student of music on a range of instruments and voice, focused especially on the older music of Greece and the Near East. Based in the U.S. but with roots in Halkidiki, Greece, he is known better as a singer in some circles and as a teacher in others—but he feels most at home crafting a melody with an instrument in his hands.

By keeping an open mind and drawing from his diverse yet complementary experiences as both a Greek and an American, Mavrothi creates music that is both Eastern and Western, old and new. He has performed throughout the United States, Europe and the Middle East, can be heard on numerous recordings and movie soundtracks and is the founder of both the Maeandros Ensemble and Mild Mannered Rebel. Mavrothi lives in New Jersey.
