A journey through the American musical tradition, through songs by legendary creators such as Cole Porter, George Gershwin and Leonard Bernstein, but also by contemporary songwriters who marked an era and shaped the aesthetics of entire generations, such as Joni Mitchell, Leonard Cohen, Paul Simon, Prince.

Songs that remain classic and unchanged over time, as well as precious moments of American songwriting, are masterfully interpreted by Elli Paspala, who was born and raised in New York and keeps the culture and treasures of American music intact in her interpretation.

She is accompanied by a small orchestra consisting of a wind quartet and a string quartet as well as a group of musicians that includes some of our most important soloists, led by David Lynch on saxophones who is also the orchestrator of the program, Takis Farazis on the piano, Petros Klabanis on double bass and Yannis Angelopoulos on drums.

Vassilikos will participate in the show, performing in his unique way, together with Elli Paspala and also solo.
