Mikis Theodorakis

Don't miss this tribute to Greece’s greatest ever composer, Mikis Theodorakis, featuring his most powerful ballads and popular hits in concert at QPAC on Friday, May 27, 2022.

For this special one-night-only concert event, international vocalist Dimitris Basis will take to the Concert Hall stage accompanied by a Greek band, a symphony orchestra conducted by the inimitable George Ellis, and special guest Maria Yiakoulis.

Basis will perform Theodorakis’s deeply moving The Ballad of the Dead Brother, a reflection on the Greek Civil War, as well as covering the Greek composer's greatest hits including Zorba.

Born in Greece in 1925, Mikis Theodorakis devoted his life to fighting for freedom and justice for his countrymen. The much loved composer used his artform to express the inexpressible, galvanising an entire nation when penning the film score to Zorba the Greek, along with countless other rousing symphonies and ballads. Sadly, Theodorakis's long journey ended in Athens on September 2, 2021 at the age of 96.

Celebrate the life of Mikis Theodorakis, regarded as the greatest composer in Greek history, at this special one-night-only concert at QPAC on May 27, 2022.
