There are a number of small ensembles in the Netherlands which have dedicated themselves to Greek music. There is only one - Palio-ParÚa - which has gone a step further: they play and sing their own compositions in Greek style with Greek poetry, but also new texts, which in turn express something of the Greek way of thinking.
