The Greek-French Association of Chania in collaboration with the Venizelio Conservatory of Chania are organizing an evening with French songs,  entitled “Invitation au voyage” where the internationally renowned bassist Christoforos Stampoglis will perform French composers, from Lully to Poulenc.

Ten songs that will cover the period of four centuries, from Baroque to expressionism and the music of the “group of six”.

Christoforos Stampoglis learned the French language from the famous professor, researcher and later publisher of books on learning French for Greeks, the late Cleopatra Psaraki, while in the French repertoire he was fortunate to get to know his collaborator and friend of 35 years, the excellent pianist Dimitris Giakas, who held the position of Chef du chant at the Paris Opera (Opéra Garnier) for seven years and who will accompany him in this recital, thus adding another link to the long and valuable chain of their thirty-five-year collaboration.
