The music of Thanos Mikrooutsikos travels to Heraklion, Crete for a concert with songs from his rich career. Songs we all loved will be performed by important singers and great musicians.
Thanos Mikroutsikos sealed with his work not only the music scene of our country but also a part of our individual and collective history and memory. His songs were identified with everyday life, dreams, visions, the struggles of the world and it is no coincidence that they were loved by many generations.
"I want to be able to make people feel that they are not alone," he used to say - and he succeeded.
With his music he has been our companion in sorrows, in joys, in everyday life, in difficult situations, in work and in travel. Through his sounds he shared the dream of a better world. His songs will always be here. Revealing to us the hidden and the wonders.
The concert will feature songs by the composer with lyrics by Kavvadias, Alkaios, Eleftheriou, Ioannou and many others. Songs that were loved by many generations such as "Karadi", "A knife", "Eleni", "Always laughing", "Rosa" and many others.
And perhaps the most beautiful song will be the one that will stand the test of time until the end and will seem new every time since it will share a promise-wish with each of us:
"And the most beautiful thing I want to tell you I haven't told you yet"
Manolis Mitsias, Rita Antonopoulou and Kostas Thomaidis sing. The three performers are accompanied by great musicians, soloists and for many years companions of the composer. Conductor at the concerts is Thimios Papadopoulos, "my alter ego" as Thanos Mikroutsikos always presented him.
