The Athens State Orchestra and the Greek Festival are participating in the celebrations of Mikis Theodorakis’s 90th birthday (he was born on July 29, 1925) by presenting a concert performance of Axion Esti, one of the most emblematic works of poetry – by Odysseus Elytis, in this case – ever set to music and one of the great works of Greek musical heritage. Performing with the Athens State Orchestra as soloists are Dimitris Platanias (baritone), George Dalaras (vocalist), Akis Sakellariou (narrator) and the Choirs of the Municipality of Athens and the University of Athens. Loukas Karitinos will conduct.

A portion of the proceeds will be donated to charity

Το έργο του Μίκη Θεοδωράκη, ο οποίος φέτος συμπληρώνει τα ενενήντα του χρόνια, σφραγίστηκε από τη μεταπολεμική ιστορία του τόπου μας, αλλά και τη σφράγισε ανεξίτηλα. Έτσι, κάθε νέα παρουσίαση αγαπημένων έργων του κορυφαίου δημιουργού, όπως η μεγαλόπνοη Συμφωνία αρ. 1 ή το εμβληματικό Άξιον εστί, καθίσταται κάτι πολύ παραπάνω από μια ευχάριστη υπόμνηση της μουσικής του. Μας χαρίζει την αναζωογονητική επανασύνδεσή μας με ήχους, μελωδίες, συναισθήματα, γεγονότα και οραματισμούς που αποτελούν αναπόσπαστο κομμάτι της ιστορικής και αισθητικής ταυτότητας του λαού μας.

Μέρος των εσόδων θα διατεθεί για φιλανθρωπικούς σκοπούς
