An original tribute to the Greek theatrical song by a collective of young Cypriot musicians. Well-known and less well-known songs written for the theatre by 20th and 21st century Greeks composers Hatzidakis, Theodorakis, Xarchakos, Karamouratidis, etc will be presented by the Nicosia International Festival... never ends and the UNDER 30 Section.
The concert highlights burning social issues such as inequality, inclusion of underrepresented social groups, racism, and mental illness. The aim is to raise awareness through the musical and literary perspective, on such issues.
The singer Katerina Paraschou will be performing accompanied by a seven-member orchestra, arranged by the composer Kyriakos Costas. She is joined on stage by actress Savina Georgiou.
