NEWS
​Panayota is excited to share a new seminar/workshop she has developed, titled The Energetics of the Voice. It is the result of years of study, practice, and research in voice work, energy healing, and mindfulness practices. The aim is to offer participants a space to connect—through their voice—with deeper parts of themselves, ultimately fostering a greater sense of wholeness.

Panayota Haloulakou is a Greek-born vocalist, composer, and educator whose work blends jazz, experimental music, and Greek folk traditions. Her compositions draw from poetry, healing texts, and improvisation, shaped by a deep commitment to vocal exploration and the transformative power of sound.
​
She is the co-founder of EquiVox, an experimental vocal duo whose debut Breaking the Spell was released in 2022, and the creator of Inside the Maze, a video series featuring “Adventure Songs” inspired by healing texts. Her 2020 album Laconikon sets the poetry of Nobel Laureate Odysseus Elytis to music for jazz and chamber ensembles.
​
Panayota is a longtime collaborator with the Greek Music Ensemble and has performed widely in the U.S. and Greece, including prestigious venues such as the Odeon of Herodes Atticus in Athens. She has shared the stage with jazz legends Steve Lacy, Sheila Jordan, and Joe Lovano, and has worked across disciplines with theater artists, dancers, and healers.
​
She teaches voice, piano, and improvisation in her private studio and currently serves as jazz faculty at New England Conservatory’s Expanded Education Division. A Fulbright alumna, Panayota is also training in Eden Energy Medicine and Estill Voice, working toward her vision of bridging music and energy healing for creativity, connection, and collective well-being.
