The Nafplio Choral Workshop is organizing the 7th Choral Festival, this year dedicated to the beloved Greek music composer Elias Andriopoulos, on Saturday evening and Sunday, 1 and 2 June 2024, at Agios Spyridon Square in Nafplio.
Two days of musical feast will be experienced by locals and all music lovers in Nafplio, in two unique landmarks, while the honored, renowned Greek composer Elias Andriopoulos will honor us with his physical presence.
Elias Andriopoulos is an important composer, who belongs to the newest current of Greek music. In his artistic career, he has written timeless songs, loved by the general public. His melodies to the works of great Greek poets are bold and original.
His first concert was given in 1975 at the "Akropol" theatre, where Manos Katrakis presented the new composer Elias Andriopoulos to the Athenian audience. In November 1976, his first album was released, entitled "Seferis Circle", with songs in poetry by George Seferis, with Nikos Xylouris and Alkisti Protopsaltis. In 1978 his second album was released, entitled "Icons". This included songs with lyrics by Manos Eleftheriou and Nikos Gatsos, as well as some orchestral pieces.
Elias Andriopoulos was Artistic Director of the Contemporary Music Orchestra of ERT (1994-1997), Artistic Director of the Patras International Festival (1997-1999) and President of the House of Greek Choirs, 2010-2013 (Wikipedia).
