Every single night is just a page
Nena Venetsanou and Notis Mavroudis met again after twenty years, and, for a second year in a row, they continue their partnership after the great success of their previous concerts. With the involvement of the guitarist Georgios Tosikian, they banded together as a music ensemble in order to express music dreams, hopes and the despair of soul. In every performance, they create a distinctive connection with the audience, just like in 60’s boîtes… Exceptional performances of Nena Venetsanou in unique songs framed by the composer’s guitar and classic guitar covers that embellish the program, giving us “art like a balsam” for our mind and heart. A song anthology of Notis Mavroudis, Nena Venetsanou, Manos Chatzidakis and other composers designates the inner beauty of Greek music, words and meanings and reminds us that the art of music can be a resilience weapon against all difficulties during these ruffled years… Nena Venetsanou / voice Notis Mavroudis / guitar George Tosikian / guitar |
