“Zorba -The Greek”, this is the title of a special concert with the music of the renowned Greek composer Mikis Theodorakis, which comes as a premiere event on the TKOBAP stage.

Mikis Theodorakis is considered one of the most important personalities of Greek music.

At the age of just 12, he composed his first musical work, while at the age of 17 he gave his first recital in Tripoli with his work “Cassiani”.

Theodorakis composed perhaps the most famous Greek rhythm in the world, the so-called syrtaki from the film “Alexis Zorbas” (1964), while his songs were performed by famous artists such as the Beatles, Shirley Bassey and Edith Piaf.

The concert also comes as a memorial to the composer, who passed away in 2021 at the age of 96. /CNA
