Jorgos Skolias live in Krakow

Experience Jorgos Skolias live on August 27th

Jorgos Skolias will perform at Alchemia in Krakow, Poland on August 27, 2026. Skolias is a Greek musician known for his distinctive blend of rebetiko – traditional Greek urban folk music – with elements of blues, jazz, and other international influences. His performances often feature the bouzouki as a central instrument, alongside guitar and percussion, creating a sound that is both deeply rooted in tradition and refreshingly contemporary. He frequently incorporates improvisation and explores themes of social commentary within his lyrical content.

Alchemia is a long-standing cultural venue in Krakow’s Kazimierz district, historically the Jewish quarter. Established in 1989, it initially functioned as a meeting place for artists and intellectuals following the fall of communism in Poland. The venue is characterized by its bohemian atmosphere, dimly lit interior decorated with eclectic artwork and furniture, and its commitment to showcasing diverse artistic expressions. It has become renowned for hosting live music performances spanning genres like jazz, blues, folk, and experimental music, as well as poetry readings and theatrical events. Alchemia actively supports independent artists and fosters a space for cultural exchange within the city.
