History and founding

The label was founded in 2025 as a creative platform for high-quality CD productions.

The initiative emerged from the collaborative musical efforts of Karakantas and Simon, who have successfully worked together for several years in the ensemble “nuovo barocco.”

 

The name Ossa refers to the mountain range of the same name (Ossa, Greek: ÎŒσσα) in the region of Thessaly, Greece which is the home region of Dimitris Karakantas' family.

Ossa symbolizes the powerful bond between origin and artistic expression -

a reminder that creativity often begins where our roots run deepest.
