Yannis Kotsiras in Amsterdam
The popular and acclaimed artist has prepared a musical journey that not only represents his own well-known songs but also includes the memorable songs of important contemporary Greek music composers such as Mikis Theodorakis, Manos Hatzidakis, Stavros Xarchakos, Mimis Plessas and others. Additionally, his setlist wouldn’t be complete without the Greek rebetika music and folk songs by Markos Vamvakaris, Vassilis Tsitsanis and Christos Nikolopoulos.
Yannis Kotsiras has made a name for himself over the past few decades as a discerning and multifaceted musician. Over the years, he has been selected by some of the most prolific Greek composers to perform their most important and iconic works. Growing up surrounded by folk and rebetiko music, he is widely accepted to be among the best ambassadors of these genres. That is why his programme includes so many stunning highlights of the Greek music scene.
Yannis Kotsiras joined by Greek instrumentalists
He is joined on stage by George Papachristoudis on the piano, a prominent musician not only in Greece but also abroad, who has collaborated with multiple important Greek composers and singers. Also joining him is Vangelis Machairas, who has been an artistic partner of Yannis Kotsiras for many years. He is a composer as well as a soloist in traditional music, playing bouzouki, oud and tzouras.
Audiences in Amsterdam are invited to experience and share an evening of music that wanders across borders: the passion, energy and unique voice of the Greek artist, in a programme that encompasses the history of Greek music!
