Greek Music Express: Peace in the Middle East -Glykeria & George Dalaras with the Israel Philarmonic Orchestra | 28 Dec. 2023

Glykeria became the most loved Greek singer in Israel and a major part of Israel’s cultural scene in the 1990s. Her special style captured the heart of the Israelis and her songs became all-time classics. She became a “household” name in Israel, an “honorary citizen”, and a platinum and gold albums seller. In the summer of 1999 she was invited to perform with the Israeli Philharmonic Orchestra. As for Dalaras, two concerts were held with him at the Mann Auditorium in Tel Aviv on 19 & 20 November 1997 at the invitation of the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra. The live recording of these performances was released internationally to great acclaim. It was a collaboration that realized in the best way the desire that George Dalaras had for years to play some of the most important Greek songs with symphonic sound.
