Kyriakos Kalaitzidis, oud virtuoso and artistic director of the Thessaloniki-based “En Chordais” institute for the study, teaching and promotion of the musical traditions of the Mediterranean, comes to Athens for a unique concert in collaboration with the great Lebanese singer Ghada Shbeir (BBC World Music Awards 2007). The program includes compositions from their discography, Maronite hymns and songs from the Mediterranean musical heritage. The Trio has appeared to great success in Europe, Asia and Africa, while Kyriakos’ twenty-year-long creative collaboration with Ghada (performing at the Metropolitan Museum of Arts in New York, San Marco in Venice, Bozar in Brussels, Institut du Monde Arabe in Paris, Cemal Reşit Rey Concert Hall in Istanbul, on tour in Canada, etc.) promise an unforgettable concert.
