Eleni Karaindrou

Director Antonis Antypas has died at the age of 83.

The news was shared in a heartfelt post by the composer and his wife of 40 years, Eleni Karaindrou.

On Christmas Eve at the Jazzet Music Hall (99 Stratigou Karaiskaki, Haidari, tel 210.581.5626), composer and pianist Jula Jannaki will present an intriguing set of classical piano compositions in which she explores the concept of contradiction. From Persian melodies to Erik Satie, Kyriakos Sfetsas and Eleni Karaindrou, Athens-born Jannaki will take her audience on a personal musical journey.

Acclaimed composer Eleni Karaindrou, whose soaring melodies have graced the silver screen for some three decades and who has performed at prestigious events and venues around the world, did a single show last year at the Stavros Niarchos Cultural Center just before the November lockdown.

Like a dizzy march of bees, Eleni Karaindrou's "Canteen Rock" thunders from the speaker towers that frame the low stage with its back to the sea. Alexis Tsipras arrives in a small convoy of cars to speak at SYRIZA's pre-election rally in Piraeus, at the spot where Drapetsona Fertilizers stood from 1909, until one of the country's largest industrial sites was torn down in 2003.

The Athens Festival has invited acclaimed Greek composer Eleni Karaindrou to present selections from her new album, "Tous des Oiseaux," at the Herod Atticus Theater on June 14.

Maria Farantouri, known for her interpretations of landmark songs by Mikis Theodorakis, Manos Hadjidakis, Eleni Karaindrou, Dionysis Savvopoulos, Thanos Mikroutsikos and other emblematic Greek composers, is performing at the Parnassos Literary Society venue on Fridays March 4 and 10.
