The restless spirit, the vigilant instinct, the experimentation with sounds, and the diverse musical approaches and combinations characterize Alkistis Protopsalti and her performances, which contain elements of surprise and innovation.
This summer, the top performer travels across Greece and Cyprus, showcasing two of her most successful shows in recent years.
“With the Colors of Greece”: A program that has transcended Greek borders, with performances in New York, Paris, London, and Tel Aviv, where Alkistis Protopsalti interprets the poetry of Nobel laureate Odysseas Elytis and contemporary Greek music, gifting us her best songs with rock touches, accompanied by a group of distinguished soloists.
