George Dalaras gave a spectacular performance.

True to form, the charismatic Greek singer had the audience singing loudly and in unison along with some of his classics including Pou ‘Nai Ta Chronia.

Rising music stars, Aspasia Stratigou and Alexandros Tzouganakis, drew applause with their supporting performances.
