ANTONIS KALOGIANNIS – “The voice of our soul”
March 9 @ 9:00 pm
An evening of music, remembrance, and love
On Monday, March 9, 2026, the Pallas Theater at 8:30 p.m. will open its doors to host a special musical evening dedicated to the memory and work of the great performer Antonis Kalogiannis, five years after his passing.
An evening of remembrance and gratitude for a voice that did not merely caress the songs, but served them with truth, ethos, and deep human sensitivity.
Antonis Kalogiannis was a performer of substance—a voice that breathed life into great ideas, poetic lyrics, and music that marked an era. He had the good fortune but also the heavy responsibility of standing alongside leading creators, foremost among them Mikis Theodorakis, and becoming the bearer of a song that spoke directly to the soul and to the struggle.
During the evening, songs that Antonis Kalogiannis indelibly marked with his voice will be heard, set to music by Stavros Xarchakos, Mimis Plessas, Dimos Moutsis, Ilias Andriopoulos, Giorgos Hatzinasios, Marios Tokas, Spyros Papavasiliou, Giorgos Hatzinasios, Argyris Kounadis, Georges Moustaki, Kostas Hatzis, Vangelis Korakakis, and other important composers.
Songs based on lyrics and poems by Seferis, Sikelianos, Ritsos, Anagnostakis, Gatsos, Manos Eleftheriou, Dimitris Christodoulou — words that became songs and songs that became memories.
Great performers and friends will take to the stage to honor his career with respect and love: Melina Aslanidou, Manolis Mitsias, Giorgos Dalaras, Dimitris Bassis, Giorgos Dalaras, Miltos Paschalidis, and Tasis Christoyannopoulos. The musical direction will be handled by Andreas Katsiyannis, head of the Estudiantina of Nea Ionia, an ensemble that knows better than most how to evoke emotion through tradition and the artistic universe, with sensitivity and respect.
The artistic advisor for the evening is Ilias Benetos.
The performance is directed by Sofia Spyratou, while the video art is curated by Nikos Soules, with original archival visual material, so that the form and history of Antonis Kalogiannis can converse vividly with the present.
The narration is provided with sensitivity and clarity by Evdokia Roumelioti.
A musical encounter that not only looks back, but also illuminates the legacy of an artist who expressed an entire era — and continues to move us.
