Melos: the succession of musical tones constituting a melody.
A simple definition that holds a much deeper meaning. Whether sung or played on an instrument, the power of a beautiful melody is undeniable. It can move the human spirit in ways nothing else can match. Add to this the excitement of dance and you have an uplifting and intoxicating experience that is the essence of every performance by Melos Folk Ensemble.
