Tickets are now on sale for 100 Years Mimis Plessas – A Living Tribute with Dimitris Basis, one of the most anticipated Greek cultural events of the year in Melbourne.
The concert pays tribute to the extraordinary legacy of Mimis Plessas, one of Greece’s most influential composers, whose work has shaped generations of modern Greek music and cultural identity.
Featuring acclaimed performer Dimitris Basis and conducted by internationally recognised maestro George Ellis, the production will deliver a grand orchestral interpretation of Plessas’ most iconic works, spanning film, theatre and popular music.
With a career spanning more than 100 film scores and over 70 theatrical productions, Plessas’ influence on Greek culture is unparalleled. His timeless songs, including Pios to xerei and Tha pio apopse to feggari, continue to resonate with audiences across generations.
More than a concert, the production represents a rare opportunity for Australian audiences to experience the scale and depth of Plessas’ work in a fully orchestrated setting, bringing together music that has defined Greek cultural identity for decades.
With strong interest expected following similar productions across Australia, tickets to the concert will be in high demand among the Greek community and broader audiences alike.
Alongside the concert, momentum is also building around the upcoming Melbourne screenings of the film Kapodistrias, which has already generated significant attention internationally.
Together, the upcoming events highlight the continued appetite for high-quality Greek cultural programming in Melbourne, spanning both music and film.
