100 Years Mikis Theodorakis

Celebrating the centennial of the legendary composer and political figure Mikis Theodorakis, 100 Years Mikis Theodorakis captures an extraordinary anniversary concert held at the stunning KKL Luzern. The evening’s star is Maria Farantouri, whose voice has portrayed Theodorakis’s songs with reverence and passion since the 1960s, joined by Athanasios Voutsas and Stefanos Theodorakis along with a virtuoso ensemble of piano, bouzouki, double bass, saxophone and flute. Together they weave a cosmos of sound that brims with emotion, history, and Theodorakis’s own commitment to justice, peace and humanity. The program highlights include the moving Mauthausen Cantata, excerpts from the monumental Canto General, and a selection of his most diverse oeuvre, with the night’s climax featuring the world‑famous music from Zorba the Greek—an emblem of joie de vivre and freedom.
