Alpha restaurant to host centenary celebration honouring Mikis Theodorakis

·

On Sunday, September 28 at 12pm, Alpha restaurant, one of Sydney’s most renowned Greek dining establishments, will host a once-in-a-century cultural celebration titled Centenary Tribute to Mikis Theodorakis and featuring the Australian Hellenic Choir.

Mikis Theodorakis, the legendary Greek composer whose music captured the heart and soul of the Hellenic spirit, would have turned 100 this year. Known globally for iconic works like Zorba the Greek, Axion Esti, and his politically charged symphonies and folk songs, Theodorakis’ influence stretches far beyond the concert hall – he is a symbol of resistance, the Hellenic identity, and cultural pride.

The event will feature a lavish Greek lunch served by Alpha’s award-winning chefs, accompanied by live performances of Theodorakis’ most beloved music, featuring appearances by distinguished vocalists and musicians from the Australian Hellenic Choir.

“This is more than a meal or a concert – it is a tribute to one of the greatest cultural icons of the modern Greek world,” event organiser Jim Tsolakis, President of the Australian Hellenic Choir, said.

“We are honoured to celebrate his legacy with food, fellowship, and the music that defined a generation, while enjoying lunch with friends and family.”

The event promises an unforgettable afternoon of live music, fine cuisine, and cultural reflection, bringing together lovers of Greek heritage, music aficionados, and the broader Australian community in honour of Theodorakis’ enduring legacy.
