The Greek-German choir Polyphonia Berlin will pay tribute to popular Greek singer-songwriter Dionysis Savvopoulos (1944-2025) with a concert at Berlin’s Trinitatiskirche church on Saturday, November 28.
Under the direction of Aris Meliadis, the choir will perform some of Savvopoulos’ best-known works, alongside Greek songs from the 1990s to the present.
Often described as “Greece’s Bob Dylan,” Savvopoulos was a pioneering figure in modern Greek music, blending traditional Greek sounds with Western counterculture, poetic lyrics and social commentary. His work drew inspiration from artists including Dylan, Frank Zappa and French singer-songwriter Georges Brassens.
Emerging in the 1960s, Savvopoulos became one of Greece’s most influential musical voices, with songs that resonated across generations.
He rose to prominence during Greece’s 1967-1974 military dictatorship, when his politically charged songs became associated with resistance to the junta.
Savvopoulos died on October 21, 2025, at age 80, after battling cancer.
