Music is a universal language that has the power to pass and spread messages.

Based on this principle, the famous American composer – producer of great successes and a huge fan of Greece, Desmond Child, took the initiative to organize a big concert at the Herodion for the return of the Parthenon Sculptures.

And thousands of people who filled the Herodion last night responded to his invitation.

Some came to support the purpose of the evening and others to see and hear live the guest artists, all collaborators, from time to time, of Desmond Child but very different from each other in terms of their musical background.

Because obviously there are great musical differences between Alice Cooper and Bonnie Tyler and Sakis Rouvas and George Lembesi, Rita Wilson and The Rasmus, Lena Hall, Kip Winger, Chris Willis, Tabitha Fair, Justin Benlolo and Andreas Carlsson.

Hence the audience was equally of different backgrounds. Desmond Child has written many amazing songs, but in different styles that have been performed by different artists, from Kiss, Bon Jovi, Aerosmith, Alice Cooper and Ricky Martin, Katy Perry to Sakis Rouvas, Lena Hall, Chris Willis, Tabitha Fair, Justin Benlolo and Andreas Carlsson.

The host of the evening, Desmond Child, sitting at the piano accompanied all the singers while he could not hide his excitement for the unique, full of history scene that stretched in front of him, with the crowded stands of the Herodion and high in the background, the illuminated Parthenon shining under the starry Attic sky.

“Athens I love you. It’s wonderful to be here”, he told the crowd, later confessing that it was a life experience.

He also referred to the Parthenon, which, as he said, he “constantly makes a prayer for the return of its Sculptures”.

As for the musical part of the night, the great front man was Alice Cooper who sang, at the end of the concert, two songs, in a very theatrical way, receiving, rightfully, the loudest applause.
