Australian Hellenic Choir to present ‘A Portrait of Greece’ celebrating music and migration

·

The Australian Hellenic Choir has announced its upcoming concert A Portrait of Greece. It will be held at 4:30pm, Sunday, 1 June 2025 at the Sir John Clancy Auditorium, University of New South Wales.

This concert features two parts. In Part 1, the Choir will perform the song Seikilos’ Epitaph, an original song from ancient Greece dating back to 200BC. A number of songs by Australian Greek Composers, that the Choir has commissioned, will follow. The central theme is migration, especially from the viewpoint of the descendants of the migrants.

Part 2 is a magical journey through Greek music genres and places, with Nisiotika and Demotika songs that everyone knows and loves.

The concert will feature a 15- piece orchestra and several solo performances from up-and-coming Australian Greek vocalists.

“This is a concert for all ages and for all people” James Tsolakis, the Choir’s Founder and President, said. “It showcases the often-hidden talent we have in the Greek diaspora here in Australia, as well as a magical tour of Greek music from around Greece.”
