About

A Window for Light: Mikis Theodorakis as I Heard it from My Father is a deeply personal tribute to the legendary composer, seen through the lens of a father’s enduring gift of song, story and identity. At its heart is Mikis’ evocative song cycle Lipotaktes, featuring poetry by his brother Yiannis, alongside other beloved works. This concert reflects on immigration, resilience, and the oral traditions that carry culture forward—voice to voice, generation to generation. The “window” becomes both a view into the past and an act of remembering, honouring Theodorakis’ spirit of resistance and a father’s enduring love.

Featuring the captivating vocalist – Katerini Manolatos
Acclaimed Pianist – Dr. Sean Foran
Prologue by Musicologist – George Lignos
As well as special guests Mel Lathouras and Ellinikes Fones Choir led by Christina Xydi-Lignos
