"The Great Provocateur": Part III by Dimitris Papadimitriou

The Hellenic Project - Dimitris Papadimitriou "The Great Provocateur" - Part three
“The Great Provocateur”: The Third Part of a song cycle dedicated to intellectual, moral and aesthetic liberty - and, why not, to libertinism! The ground-breaking song cycle by composer Dimitris Papadimitriou, inspired by uncompromised, unconventional, and revolutionary world poetry, is presented by the Hellenic Project and Onassis Stegi on Onassis Channel on RUclips, on Wednesday, April 28, at 21:00.
Vocalists Veronica Davaki, Panos Papaioannou, and Giorgos Florakis will perform the songs, accompanied by an ensemble of seven musicians. The performance is part of the Contemporary Music and Poetry Cycle organized by the Hellenic Project, which aims to support and promote contemporary musical creativity and original projects. The commissioning of new works provides a platform for the younger generation of artists, and an opportunity for the public to discover global poetic traditions through the medium of music.
