This unique concert will teleport us to the streets of entechni and beyond, with it’s beautiful medley of folk songs, which features creations and songs by the greatest Greek composers, such as Mikis Theodorakis, Manos Hadjidakis, Vasilis Tsitsanis, Stavros Xarchakos, Manolis Chiotis, Manos Loizos, Dimos Moutsis, Thanos Mikroutsikos, Yannis Spanos, Giorgos Zampetas and more, as well as preeminent Greek poets and lyricists, including Odysseas Elytis, George Seferis, Manolis Anagnostakis, Nikos Gatsos, Lina Nikolakopoulou, Alkis Alkaios, Manos Eleftheriou, Lefteris Papadopoulos and others.
