Lucie Lelaurain
Mixing her taste for contemporary music and traditional modal music, the multi-instrumentalist Lucie Lelaurain unveils cinematic and modern music weaving links between traditional tunes of yesterday and compositions of today.
Originally playing on a classical Flute, she specializes in Middle Eastern music by learning the Duduk, but also by researching the adaptation of sound and ornament on her original instrument which normally expresses itself in so-called tonal and classical music. Her musical identity is forged by her education in French traditional music, and by her many travels.
Born in France in 1994, she discovered very early a passion for traditional music and dance. After studying at the Music Conservatory in Toulouse, she traveled to Turkey to be trained in the modal music of the Middle East.
She worked there with many masters and after two years of learning, she decided to return to Europe and joined the Codarts University of the Arts in Turkish music. Lucie is now working on three main projects. One of those is Hamraaz, a duo of Iranian music, mixing composition, and traditional music.
She is working on her own composition with the project "Rosann" and an album is planned for 2024.

Eirini Zogali
Eirini was born in 1997 in Corinth, Greece. Her relationship with music started at the age of 7 with classical guitar. This first contact led her to audition for the music school of her hometown, from which she graduated in 2015 with a new instrument in hand, the bouzouki.
The bouzouki was the music bridge that helped her to approach traditional Greek music, especially Rebetiko. In 2016 she continued her studies in music in Thessaloniki, where she graduated with a specialization in the three-string bouzouki.
Moving to Thessaloniki was crucial for her music career because of the variety of genres that co-exist in the city. During her studies there, she came across the Oud, an instrument that quickly became of great significance to her.
In 2019 she was accepted as an exchange student at Codarts University of Arts in Rotterdam, where she studied more in-depth with the Oud and also experimented with the bouzouki. Before returning to Greece she auditioned for the master's program of Codarts University of the Arts the Oud as a main instrument, to which she got accepted.
