"MEGALES ORES" by the composer Andreas Katsigiannis with the State Orchestra of Athens Participating: Glykeria Dimitris Bassis Eleanna Varela and Jonathan Jackson A magical night was experienced by the thousands of spectators who flooded the suffocatingly full Herodeion in a sold out performance, to watch on Thursday, September 29, 2022, the multidimensional musical work of the composer Andreas Katsigianni, "MEGALES ORES" , with the State Orchestra of Athens under the direction of the conductor Stathis Soulis. The sensational performances of Glykeria, Dimitris Bassi, Eleanna Varela and the winner of 5 Emmy awards, American musician and actor, Jonathan Jackson, together with 100 choristers from three different choirs created one of the most immersive moments we have experienced under the sanctuary Acropolis rock. Our great protagonist, Nikitas Tsakiroglou in the role of the narrator connected the composer's many-faceted musical trilogy in a unique way. The two albums "Tis Siopis o Topos" and "Kecharitomeni", from the trilogy "MEGALES ORES" by the composer Andreas Katsigianni, were presented at the Herodei concert. In the "Silence of the Place", Mount Athos, the "GREAT HOURS" of the presence of Light are constantly experienced. And the hours become longer when the Eternal Mother of Light, "Kecharitomeni" transmits her Light to those who seek it. An overwhelming prayer, which was heard like the rustling of the wind under the canopy of the sept of the Agioreite sky in the Attic Heaven. The two albums "Tis Siopis o Topos" and "Kecharitomeni" are released on CD and vinyl and on all digital platforms Narrative texts: Alexander Foteinos. Included are passages from Saint Joseph of Hesychastos, Odysseus Elytis, Costas Karyotakis, Tassos Livaditis, George Seferis and Konstantinos Cavafy.
