Theodorakis was one of the most famous representatives of the Greek music and had a significant influence on it.

A special concert is taking place in honor of the composer. Maria Farantouri, an outstanding interpreter of Theodorakis' works, delights the audience with her powerful and sensitive voice. To this day she is THE Greek Theodorakis interpreter. Now more than ever, her concerts are a sign that Theodorakis' music is timeless and unforgettable.
