Information

Traditional songs and events that follow the course of the cycle of the year. The starting point is the autumn, which marks the beginning of the working and ecclesiastical year.
  • Period: 11/10/2005
  • Location: Odeon of Herodes Atticus
  • Production: Golden Stage Events

Based on songs and with Autumn as the starting point that marks the beginning of the working and ecclesiastical year, following the course of time, songs and events from various Greek places were presented; a harvest revival, events of the twelve days of Christmas, Easter festivities, Saint John of Kledon customs, and summer festive events.

Excerpt from a review in Eleftherotypia newspaper (13/10/2005):

And the journey of life flowed through the four seasons, dedicated to the eternal cycle of nature and of love. In the same way it experienced to this day in every corner of Greek land by breathing the clear air of tradition through songs, events, customs and traditions. An authentic journey, earthen and salty, from Crete, Chalkidiki, Thessaly, Peloponnese, Epirus, Macedonia to Pontus, Mytilene, Samos, Kythnos, Rhodes. The "Captain" was simple and noble, Samiou with her stable, Doric voice. Her crew, multitudinous and worthy, was made up of almost 200 people!
