The distinguished musician Savvas Degirmentzoglou, born and raised in Constantinople, presents his work and his deeply evocative musical creations. His songs speak of refugeehood and uprooting, of exile and the enduring pain of displacement.
He reflects on his life in Constantinople, his journey to Greece, and his lifelong devotion to music — shaped by the sounds, memories, and musical traditions of earlier eras.
The program also features two songs dedicated to the incomparable Vasilis Hatzipanagis, with lyrics by Giorgos Kanlis.
