A brother in spirit: Peter Mousaferiadis pays tribute to his friend Alan Harris

·

Cultural Infusion’s CEO Peter Mousaferiadis has paid tribute to his late close friend, Alan Harris.

Full tribute in English:

Vale to my friend Alan Harris. Over two decades, what we achieved together was unparalleled. We ventured to parts of the world and staged events where others wouldn’t dare to go. Together, we completed over 40 national tours across Australia—some lasting as long as six months—and performed on the world’s grandest stages for countless heads of state and spiritual leaders. I’ve lost track of the number of international opening and closing ceremonies we brought to life, blending artistry and music in ways that inspired so many. Your legacy lives on in the hearts of more than 2 million students whose lives you’ve touched—an impact that will echo for generations.

More than anything, we became family friends, saw our families grow up, and had some of the best laughs together. 

I am going to miss you like a brother. 

Through your ancient culture, you taught me early the true meaning of selflessness and showed me that life isn’t about chasing fleeting illusions and cheap tickets to immortality.

The world is going to miss YOU. 

The story of Alan Harris, aka Big Al will never be repeated. 

You were the greatest storyteller I knew. 

You will be around us forever. 

Until we meet again. 

My condolences to your beautiful family Leonie, April, Tristan, Tristan Harris, Azlan Azza and the grandkids and spouses.
