Stefanos Korkolis: Encounter – Songs by Mikis Theodorakis. Sung by Sofia Manousaki

July 1, 2016 @ 9:30 pm - 10:40 pm

Ο Στέφανος Κορκολής σε έργα Μίκη Θεοδωράκη

The relationship that has developed over the last two years between the composer and the internationally-fêted pianist, plus a key phrase in a letter written by the former describing the latter as “the perfect performer of and ambassador for my music to the Greek and international audience”, filled Stefanos Korkolis with a powerful desire to hit the studio and start recording works by Mikis Theodorakis with Sofia Manousaki, a young singer the composer has described as a ‘revelation’.

At the same time, songs from the list of Mikis Theodorakis’ ‘betrayed’ works from 1980-2000 are to be performed again for the first time in Greece. The works are presented simply for piano and voice, highlighting the great Greek composer’s magnificent melodies.
