Ever since I left Greece more than two decades ago, it has been my dream to return and perform at the Acropolis. This project took more than a year and a half to plan and accomplish, and I would like to thank my band and crew and the scores of people involved in helping my dream become a reality.

When I put the two together, the result is unique, and itโs not only pleasing to the ear, but produces emotional responses that neither of the two can achieve on their own.
