Mitropoleos Square is transformed into an open and vibrant space of inclusion, where art dissolves every dividing line. On Sunday, May 17, from 18:30 to 20:30, the Alpha Conservatory and the Hellenic Centre for Research in Sound, Music and Speech (E.K.E.I.M.) present a double music programme that powerfully demonstrates how music knows no boundaries, only forms of expression. Professional soloists, students and musicians with disabilities share the same stage, building a bridge between the “I” and the “you” in order to arrive at the essential and precious “we.”

The evening begins at 18:30 with a 40-minute performance by the Orchestra, Music Therapy Group and Choir of E.K.E.I.M. Under the coordination of Michalis Tobler, Sofia Latsinou and Anna Dakourou Tofalou, the ensemble combines guitars, flute, hand chimes and voices, accompanied on piano by Nektaria Linaraki, a student musician with disabilities.

At 19:10, the programme continues with a high-level piano and vocal recital. A distinguished group of soloists, including Dimitris Chrysanthakopoulos, Alexandros Makris, Giorgos Chatzis, Vasiliki Manika, Giorgos Gavriil, Nefeli Manou and Kostas Barkas, presents a multidimensional repertoire ranging from French Impressionism and the Western classical tradition to contemporary Greek song and Mediterranean musical memory.

A deeply moving artistic collaboration without barriers, ready to flood the heart of springtime Athens with light.
