The Greek fusion orchestra was a sextet created in 1976 by members of the ERT's Contemporary Music Orchestra. The group was performing for 30 minutes every week in a live radio broadcast until 1978, when it was broken up as a regular group. However its members were performing occasionally together until 1980 until their definitive break up. Just before this they recorded the now historic LP "without boundaries" for columbia records. The recording was not a success at the time, however it obtained cult status gradually with the years as the only studio recording of the group.

The most dominant members of the group were Kyriakos Sfetsas,as the bandleader and composer and Yanni Theodoridis, as the main soloist.
