On Sunday, 31 May 2026, from 12:00 to 14:00 Athens time, Voice of Greece’s program “Our Town”, hosted by Themis Rodamitis, explores the presence of the sea in the work of Mikis Theodorakis through well-known songs and musical settings that have become closely associated with the Greek landscape, travel, memory, and poetry.
It also highlights the great composer’s creative relationship with major Greek poets, including Giorgos Seferis, Nikos Gatsos, Odysseas Elytis, and Kostas Varnalis, whose verses inspired some of his most celebrated works.
Listeners will enjoy songs and excerpts from song cycles that brought the sea to the forefront as a defining element of the Greek experience and artistic expression.
