Album recording
A mysterious journey that brings the world of antiquity, mythology, poetry and philosophy back to life.
27–30 October · Album & Video Recording
From 27 to 30 October, the Palintonos Trio records its debut album “Ancient Traces” in Munich.
The composers Konstantia Gourzi and Ektoras Tartanis are both culturally shaped by their ancient Hellenistic roots. Like Ariadne’s thread, their traces run from antiquity to contemporary music, complementing each other into a harmonious whole.

The Trio
Welcome to the world of the Palintonos Trio — the first of its kind. We share our passion and love through music and believe that art is a way of communication that has the potential to unite and elevate people.
We seek to explore unheard soundscapes, new presentation forms and a fresh perspective to seemingly old music. Three internationally accomplished musicians unite in this unique formation.
Soprano
Clara Regina Heupgen is a German-Austrian soprano based in Munich, specialized in song and concert repertoire. She gives recitals and concerts with symphony orchestras all over the world, with recent engagements in New York and Brazil. Her elegance and clarity of voice is of a rare kind and gives a unique flavor to the Palintonos Trio.
Double Bass
Antonino Tertuliano is from Brazil and plays the double bass. He has worked with different orchestras and chamber music formations worldwide. Music is a way of life for him: he lives and breathes every note without compromises and communicates directly through his instrument and his charisma.
Piano
Ektoras Tartanis is a Greek conductor, composer and pianist based in Germany. He won several national and international prizes and served as chief conductor and Kapellmeister. His works are published by Universal Edition and premiered in places like the Golden Hall of the Vienna Musikverein — deeply rooted in his Hellenic culture.
Live
The album “Ancient Traces” explores ancient worlds and their influence and resonance through the centuries into modern times. Ektoras Tartanis is culturally shaped by his Hellenistic roots and expresses his inspiration in musical form — like Ariadne’s thread, drawing traces from antiquity into contemporary music.
