Virgin Mary around the world: A musical tribute

From the Black Madonnas of Africa and the Indian Madonnas of the Caribbean and Latin America, to the Greek and Cypriot laments for the Virgin

On April 6, 2015 the Athens Concert Hall will host a unique concert that draws inspiration from the traditions of Christian communities around the globe.

Savina Yannatou and Primavera en Salonico take us on a magical journey in space and time: from the Black Madonnas of Africa and the Indian Madonnas of the Caribbean and Latin America, to the Greek and Cypriot laments for the Virgin, the folk dirges of Corsica, Sardinia and Armenia, the Italian tarantellas and Spanish mediaeval hymns for the Virgin Mary.
