Greek composer's works come to China for the first time

After the performance at the National Museum of China in Beijing, singer Tsanaklidou said, "Listening to Mikis Theodorakis' works can unite us. We can regain the feeling that we are a group of people, rather than individuals going through life alone. Mikis' songs are written for people to sing with their friends, comrades and fellow citizens."

The concert also made a stop in Nanchang, Jiangxi province.

Born in 1925, Theodorakis was a renowned Greek composer and political activist celebrated for his significant contributions to music and his role in Greece's cultural and political history. Known for his film scores, including the iconic music for Zorba the Greek, Theodorakis' compositions often blend traditional Greek music with classical and contemporary styles, creating a unique and powerful sound.
