Celebrating 100 years of Greek influence on modern music!

From the great operatic diva Maria CaIlas to the biggest female selling artist of all time, Nanna Mouskouri, the kaftan wearing sex symbol Demis Roussos, the seventies icon Cat Stevens, the musical genius, Vangelis and the inimitable George Michael, this majestic concert with over 50 musicians, singers and dancers, brings you a concert of epic proportions.

The concert also pays homage to the great Mikis Theodorakis, Kazantzidis, Alexiou, Marinella, Dalaras and more…

The cream of Greek/Australian singers, dancers, and musicians have combined their supreme talents in this spectacular.

In what is a world premiere, this extravaganza is produced, vocally arranged and directed by the critically acclaimed Penny Pavlakis, who brings to the stage star power few artists can emulate.

Combining with Australia’s Musical Director, Dylan Weberbauer, is the acclaimed Musical Director from Greece, Nick Sousamidis.

With Lyre instruments representing the north and south of Greece, the undoubted highlight of the evening will be the 8 Bouzouki spectacular, the Cretan and Pontian War dancers and Australia’s premier vocal group The Ten Sopranos…

This event is bigger than Ben Hur, bigger than The Trojan Horse and bigger than the Pyramids

Musical highlights include Chariots of fire: Peace Train, Ruby my Love, My Friend the Wind, Forever and Ever, Freedom, Careless Whisper, White Rose of Athens, Omorphy Poly, Anikse Petra, Zorba the Greek, Iparko and much more.

If you see only one show this year, this has to be it!
