Following the outstanding history of the famous musicians and orchestras, a new Estudiantina was founded in 1999 by a group of 20 young musicians. The “moving spirit” and artistic director of this band is Andreas Katsigiannis. Estudiantina is a pioneering orchestra in the contemporary social environment. It does not just imitate previous models of orchestras but adopts new elements, creating and suggesting new musical patterns aiming at attracting larger audiences to the genuine Greek music.More than 250 concerts have been given since 1999 both in Greece and abroad (the United States, Romania, Turkey, Italy, Portugal, Ukraine, Cyprus), at well-known concert halls, together with some of the greatest Greek singers and musicians such as Giorgos Dalaras, Maria Farantouri, Pantelis Thalassinos, Glykeria, Manolis Mitsias, Petros Gaitanos, Eleni Vitali, Agathonas, Mario, Babis Tsertos, Panagiotis Lalezas, Areti Ketime, Dimitris Basis, Gerasimos Andreatos, Christos Tsiamoulis, Chronis Aidon
