Yannis Ritsos’ requiem, Epitaphios, a long poem of extraordinary solidity and spiritual power set to music by Mikis Theodorakis, is performed by the internationally acclaimed Greek singer Maria Farantouri and the world-renowned Greek opera singer Tasos Apostolou at the Stavros Niarchos Foundation Cultural Center (SNFCC) on Holy Wednesday. They are accompanied by three great soloists: Achilleas Wastor on piano, Hercules Zakkas on bouzouki and Alexandros Botinis on cello.

Through Mikis Theodorakis’ music and Maria Farantouri’s voice, Epitaphios becomes a riveting musical statement of grief and human dignity.

The first part of the concert features the complete Epitaphios; in the second part, Maria Farantouri performs poetry set to music by major Greek composers.
