Alexiou who began in the Greek music scene in the 1970s, is considered one of the most popular and commercially successful singers in Greece. She has worked with many significant Greek artists and musicians including composer and bouzouki master George Zambetas, performing many of his compositions.
This unique musical collaboration honours Zambetas’ work through a series of concerts and a rare opportunity to hear from some of the most emblematic figures in the Greek music scene.
