Music box with “The songs of cinema” and guests George Perris, George Papageorgiou and Ioanna Kavroulaki

The most cinematic “opens ” on Sunday, March 17, 2024, at 21:00, at ERT1. Nikos Portokaloglou and Rena Morfi welcome in the “Music Box” a great lyrical performer with an international career, George Perris, an actor who has been doing albums and concerts with his band, George Papageorgiou from Polkar, and a new talented performer, Ioanna Kavroulaki. The “Music box” invites us to a music performance with songs by Manos Hatzidakis, Mikis Theodorakis, Mimi Plassas, Efanthia Reboutsika, Barbara Streisand, Lady Gaga & Bradley Cooper, Phill Collins and others. Pieces that touched us emotionally and still move us every time we hear them, songs that we’ve loved, that we’ve dreamed about, that we sing even today. The selection among dozens of songs was very difficult, but it was made based on the preferences of the show’s chosen guests. The evening is dedicated to songs that were either written specifically for films or existed and used sometime for the needs of a film scene. George Perris, George Papageorgiou and Ioanna Kavroulaki talk about the soundtrack of their lives, the film they have seen more times in their lives, as well as about their favorite protagonists and directors. ‘The Godfather’, ‘Chariots of fire’, ‘Zorbas’: A wonderful orchestral medley by the musicians of “Cout”. « Finally there is no here» & «Today»: George Perris performs two wonderful songs we first heard from Eleftheria Arvanitakis in the film “Oxygen” and by Giannis Parios in the film “Good-bye”, respectively. “ A sky with stars ”: The song by Mimi Plassa and Thanos Sofou, from the film “Rudevou in the air”, first performed by Giannis Vogiatzis, is heard by George Papageorgiou. “ Phaedra, starring Melina Mercouri, who performed the song first. Here, we hear it from the melodic voice of Ioanna Kavroulaki.
