A subversive musical performance that outlines the artistic portrait of Nikos Portokaloglos "otherwise", with a different – symphonic sound, illuminating his songs from another side, rediscovering them!

A special meeting of different musical worlds: Nikos Portokaloglou's songwriting with elements from folk and traditional song, but also rock and blues, with the sound of his own band, as well as the symphonic sound of the orchestra that represents the classical Western tradition . Central pillar of the performance, the meeting of musicians of all generations on stage.

From the generation of the 80s, to which the songwriter belongs, to the generations of the future, represented by the members of the Choir and the Symphony Orchestra. Singing with him is the multi-talented partner of Vyron Tsourapis, the excellent young performer Myrto Vassiliou and, as a special guest, the one and only Giorgos Perris. The idea for the concert started from a proposal of the Cultural Center of the Central Macedonia Region, through Anna Mykoniou and Thanasis Kolalas and was presented at the Thessaloniki Concert Hall in November 2022 under the title "Official Dress".
