Experience once again the universality of Greek civilization condensed in the golden song creations of the first part of twentieth century.

The velvety voice of Hrysoula Stefanaki, faithful to the aesthetic ideals of the Mid-War Era and the music arrangement of David Nachmias, make this show a real time machine filled with the colors and aesthetics that gave us this great pure art form.

The proceeds from this event will go towards the Building Fund to establish a Greek Museum and Center in Houston TX
