ANKARA

Alkistis Protopsalti will be on stage with her popular songs at the ‘Colors of Greece’ concert.

Internationally acclaimed Greek singer Alkistis Protopsalti will take the stage in Ankara, singing her most popular songs at a unique concert aptly named “Colors of Greece.”

“I have always tried to carry the torch of our culture along with the emotion, our way of life and expression, our joy and sadness; the light, the color and the oxygen of our heart,” Protopsalti said.

The concert, organized by the Greek Embassy in Ankara, in collaboration with Middle East Technical University (ODTÜ) and sponsored by the Doğuş Holding Group, will take place on April 9 at ODTÜ’s concert hall.

As part of METU art festival

Famous for her unique voice and her amazing stage presence, Protopsalti will start her concert by singing the poems of the late Odysseus Elytis, who was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1979.
 
She will continue with modern Greek composers, giving the audience the most beautiful songs of her repertoire.

Accompanied by a quintet of musicians, Protopsalti has already performed “Colors of Greece” at the Metropolitan Opera of New York, the Cadogan Hall of London, the Alhambra Theater of Paris and the Cultural Hall of Tel Aviv.

The concert is being organized as part of the annual music festival “ODTÜ Sanat 16/METU Art 16.”
