Sakellaridis

The Athens Philharmonia Orchestra will perform three fine works by representatives of the Second Viennese School accompanied by piano duo Beata Pincetic and Christos Sakellaridis at the Athens Concert Hall under the direction of Byron Fidetzis on Monday, November 18. The works to be performed on the night are Anton Webern's Passacaglia, Op.

The previous leftist government bears a "huge responsibility" for the overcrowding and dire living conditions inside Greece's migrant reception centres, the head of Amnesty International's local chapter said in an interview published Thursday.

Much loved in Greece, Robert Frost (1874-1963) visited the country 58 years ago as a guest of the Hellenic American Union, which is paying tribute to the American poet with a special event on Wednesday, March 13. This evening of verse brings together 15 poets to read selected works by Frost in both the original and a new Greek translation.

"I'll put it simply: 'Perouze' is made for the Herod Atticus Theater. Shortish, in two acts of 45 minutes each, it is theatrical and has very interesting music with a variety of influences - Viennese operetta, Greek folk songs, the Doric harmonies of Byzantine music - and of course its cliches.

Pianists Stefanos Nasos and Christos Sakellaridis perform Olivier Messiaen's "20 Contemplations on the Infant Jesus," composed in 1944 for the French composer's second wife. The show at the Athens Concert Hall on Tuesday, April 3, starts at 8.30 p.m. and tickets cost 10 and 15 euros.

Concerns are rising about conditions at reception centers for migrants on the islands of the eastern Aegean amid delays in much-needed infrastructure upgrades and increasingly cramped conditions, with reports of a spike in cases of mental health problems.

The former spokesman of ruling SYRIZA Gavriil Sakellaridis has been appointed as the new director of rights watchdog Amnesty International's Greece section.

The 37-year-old economist, who also ran for Athens mayor in 2014, will be filling a post that has been empty for about three months following the resignation of AI Greece's former director, Heracles-Spyridon Aktypis.

Greek National Opera singers will perform a medley of songs from well-known operettas at To Treno sto Rouf. The program includes pieces by Johann Strauss, Theofrastos Sakellaridis and Franz Lehar, among others. Performances take place on Wednesday, December 21 and December 28, at 9.30 p.m. Admission is set at 12 euros.

The former Radical Left Coalition (SYRIZA) government spokesman Gabriel Sakellaridis says he is “laughing” at ludicrous publications that want him “married” to an unnamed man that isn’t described but is pictured to be the Harvard-educated Panagiotis Angelopoulos, the lefty son of powerful businesswoman Gianna Angelopoulos-Daskalaki.

When Gabriel Sakellaridis resigned as an MP but not from the party, a number of political analysts wondered why he had prefered to remain in a party whose policies he no longer espouses. His choice of resigning rather than voting against the bailout measures he is against can be seen as “moral” by most.
