"Love 2025". A winter journey through the snow. A departure that costs dearly, but the relief that time is running out. A waltz full of feeling, that unrequited love, doomed by the stars. Melodrama, danger, occasion. The mad moon and the heart a heavy pearl. Love. All the mysteries and secrets of the world are hers.

Viki Giannoula (voice, piano) and Kostis Kritsotakis (piano) with boldness and thirst dive into the untamed waters of love performing American musical theatre (Maury Yeston), contemporary Greek song (Kostis Kritsotakis) and classical piano works (Tchaikovsky, Prokofiev) in a highly original, romantic and courageous programme. Music flooded with emotions. A concert of passion.
