Daemonia Nymphe were formed in the year 1994 and after a four years time intense creative period ,they released their debut album in 1998 under the title "The Bacchic Dance of The Nymphs" by the German record label Solistitium rec.This album focuses on a lyrical theme that ranges between the myths of the Hellenic antiquity and music that could easily be described as "theatrical". The same year 1998 finds the project renewed and a strong core of musicians is consisted -musicians who compose music based on the aesthetic and theoretical border of ancient hellenic music.One year later,a co-operation gradually changes the course of the band. We are referring to the meeting between Daemonia Nymphe and Nikos Brass , an instrument constructor who has managed to reproduce almost every ancient hellenic instrument by using his artistic skills, starting over from the year 1980 up to nowadays. Daemonia Nymphe ,Nikos Brass and his assistants consist of a team in which the musicians are inspired and create with Lyre ,Kithara,Varvitos, and the constructors improve and make the instruments as perfect as possible.Within this co-operation , Daemonia Nymphe played their first concert presentation of the instruments at the Reinessance Festival of Rethymno, Crete. More concerts followed at the Interbalkan European Medical Center, in Tsagarada Pilio and N. Ionia of Volos . Along side they release their first mini Cd entitled “Tyrvasia” .

PRESS RELEASE
“BACCHAE” by Euripides
The Performance
it is about the tour of a Greek theatre production with the staging of the classical tragedy “BACCHAE”(VAKHES) of Euripides from the Theatre Scheme of Leonidas Loizides in the version of the dean and professor of the University of Athens, Marika Thomadaki and in direction of the pioneer and innovating director Leonidas Loizides, who has a 20-year active career in the theatre stardom, always serving the quality theatre, and with artistic successes, the destiny of which had been to travel abroad and make a tour in Europe and America, as we are ambitious for our new oncoming production too. The play will be presented in the Greek language with English hyper-titles. Its ingenuity lies in the fact that it is performed only by a female cast, that will totally consist of eight women, selected professional actresses, out of the best Greek actresses. It is about a pioneer idea of Leonidas Loizides that aims at the promotion of the role and the power of the woman, in the past as well as in the present time and the future.
We also point out that in this attempt of ours we have the support of the Greek state and the honour, this theatrical production to be under the auspices of the Greek ministries of Foreign affairs, Tourist Development, Transportation and Communications, the Organization for the Promotion of the Greek Culture of the Ministry of Culture, as well as ΠΟΔΑ (Cultural Organization of the Municipality of Athens) and UNESCO.
