Giannis Markopoulos

From here on now

A composer for today as well as yesterday, Giannis Markopoulos takes us back to those well-loved songs of old that never fail to stir the emotions. Sung for years now by friends round taverna tables, his songs serve as a stable point of reference to a Greece that somehow remains the same: hence the concert’s symbolic title. Fellow travellers on this musical journey, established singers and younger vocalists who we can expect to bring a new hue to old songs. The composer’s Concerto for Ney and Orchestra will also receive its première in the shadow of the Acropolis.
