Synthesis Cultural Foundation presented a moving concert tribute to Manos Hatzidakis on March 4, featuring a talented group of artists- the dynamic soloists Nikos Kouroupakis and Yanna Katsageorgi led by Music Director Petros Hatjopoulos, accompanied by The Hellenic Musical Society Choir, Spiros Exaras on guitar, Theodore Tsinias on percussion, and Kostas Psarros on bouzouki, for a full house at the Stathakion Cultural Center in Astoria.
The program included many of the beloved classics by the internationally renowned Greek composer perhaps best known for winning the Academy Award for Best Original Song for Never on Sunday from the film of the same name.
Hatjopoulos gave welcoming remarks at the concert, thanking everyone for filling the Stathakion, and noting that it was “a great honor to perform the music of the perhaps the greatest Greek composer, certainly the greatest Greek composer of the second half of the 20th century, Manos Hatzidakis, with some outstanding musicians.”
