The Region of Crete, the Municipality of Chania and KEPPEDICH – KAM, in co-organization with the Municipality of Platanias and the Associations of the D.E. Kolymbariou are organizing a Concert with the songs of Mikis Theodorakis, on Monday, August 7, 2023, at 9 pm, at the Port of Kolymbariou in the Municipality of Platanias, with performers Kostas Thomaidis and Ioanna Fortis and with the musical direction of Giorgos Saltaris.

Mikis “met” Cretan Music for the first time, in 1950, in Kolymbari. Since then he started a course that changed our Music Culture and highlighted him, the Top Composer in the world. On Cretan Music, along with Folk and Byzantine, Mikis Theodorakis built his Musical Project and gave us hundreds of songs and other musical works that enrich our lives and present Greek Culture to the world stage.

The evening will open with Cretan Music by Stelios and Leonidas Lainakis (lute – singing) and Panagiotis Darmarakis (violin).

The concert is prefaced by Giorgos Agorastakis, President of the Pancrete Association of Friends of Mikis Theodorakis.
