Manos Hatzidakis

How does it feel to work with Quincy Jones, one of the greatest music producers of the 20th century, who recently passed away at the age of 91? What advice did he give during recording sessions, and how did he interact with stars and newcomers alike?

The legendary works of Greek composer Manos Hatzidakis will be brought to life at the Odeon of Herodes Atticus (Dionysiou Areopagitou) on October 8. Renowned Cypriot singer Alkinoos Ioannidis will perform pieces from Hatzidakis' repertoire, including iconic compositions that have shaped Greek music and culture. Tickets start from 55 euros at more.com.

The Athens Stock Exchange followed global bearish trends and dropped nearly 3% Friday. Weak US economic results announced Thursday and Friday created a sense of panic among investors that inevitably spread to the ATHEX. 

The general index closed at 1,430.90 points, down 2.95%, near intraday lows. Turnover was €124.23 million.

Greek shares dropped 6 percent on Monday after a sharp rise in coronavirus cases in neighbouring Italy, analysts said.

"The country's proximity to Italy has clearly triggered some concern," Manos Hatzidakis, analyst at Athens-based Beta Securities, told Reuters.
