Celebrating the 200th anniversary of the Greek Revolution, Queensland Performing Arts Centre will proudly present Songs of Liberation on Friday 4 June 2021.
This special one night only event will showcase songs of struggle, liberty and empowerment by Greece’s four greatest composers of the 20th and 21st centuries: Vassilis Tsitsanis, Manos Hatzidakis, Stavros Xarchakos and Mikis Theodorakis.
Internationally acclaimed soloist Dimitris Basis will bring the scores of these revered composers to life in the grandeur of QPAC’s Concert Hall accompanied by a Greek band and symphony orchestra playing under the direction of conductor Dimitris Calligeros.
QPAC Chief Executive John Kotzas said events such as Songs of Liberation, that highlight and celebrate cultures and bring communities together, are at the core of QPAC’s role as a Queensland cultural institution. “What better way for Queensland’s Greek community to celebrate an extraordinary cultural milestone than through sharing music and song from talented performers and renowned composers? This is the beauty of the arts: to tell stories and provide unique experiences that bring us all together.”
