"Sound of Greece, Music of the World"

“Sound of Greece, Music of the World”

“SOUND OF GREECE – MUSIC OF THE WORLD”

… is the title of the performance by the 15-member Greek music orchestra
“EMMETRON”.

Greece is the basic element of the performance and it is full of sounds or even images (there are some video-clips). There is a whole journey that is revealed beyond our eyes. Music and songs by the great Greek composers such as Vamvakaris, Loizos, Hadjidakis, Theodorakis, Xarchakos, Plessas, Zampetas et al. were played by the bouzouki and they crossed the world by the mean of Greek and International cinema. These songs were performed by the Beatles, Edith Piaf, Harry Belafonte, Nat King Cole and Melina Merkouri et al., they were loved and their GREEK SOUND became the MUSIC OF THE WORLD.

The performances will take place at Michael Cacoyannis Foundation, on 17, 18 and 19 December 2012.
