Stavros Xarchakos Concert @ Arkadi Monastery

Stavros Xarchakos Concert

83 Years Since the Battle of Crete - Concert Honoring Heroes

Featuring: Dimitris Bassis, Iro Saia

The Battle of Crete was an important historical event that had a big impact on the world.

The brave spirit of the people of Crete, and their strong belief in freedom, were some of the brightest moments in the fight against the cruelties of the Nazis.

Every year, Crete honors its heroes from the battle with many different events. This helps keep the historical memory alive.

This year's anniversary will have a special music concert near the Arkadi Monastery. One of the last great modern Greek composers, Stavros Xarchakos, will perform.

Stavros Xarchakos is taking part in the concert because he feels it is important to preserve historical memory and connect it to the hopes and dreams of today.

His concert at the Arkadi Monastery serves this purpose. He will conduct a large orchestra of top musicians and have two great performers by his side. He will take us on a journey of sounds and emotions through his musical works.
