With a career spanning five decades, much-loved Greek singer Yiannis Parios is scheduled to perform two concerts in Piraeus and Athens this month. This first will be at the Veakio Theater in Piraeus on Thursday, September 5, and the second at Theatro Petras in the northwestern Athens suburb of Petroupoli on Saturday, September 14.

Enduring Greek musicians Giorgos Katsaros and Mimis Plessas band together for a performance at the Papagou Garden Theater. Katsaros, a seasoned saxophonist, and Plessas, the respected pianist, will be joined on stage by Lena Alkaiou and Nikos Karagiaouris in a celebration of the two veterans' impressive careers. The concert begins at 9 p.m., and tickets start at 13 euros.

The Athens Concert Hall pays tribute to Giorgos Mouzakis (1922-2005), a prominent Greek trumpet player and composer who penned more than 2,000 tunes for stage and screen, including some of the most memorable songs of the Greek revue in the 1950s, 60s, and 70s.
