Greek Australian artists celebrate 200th Anniversary of Greek Revolution in electrifying tribute

·

The Enmore Theatre, Sydney’s oldest and longest running live theatre, filled with bouzouki sounds and timeless Greek old favourite songs, at the ‘Greek Legends of the 20th Century’ tribute concert held on Friday night.

“For me the Greek community is not a group of people sitting somewhere. It’s you and you came here because this is your night. It’s your event, your support, your independence and your freedom,” said the MC addressing the 1100 spectators.
