As a Greek living in Norway for most of my adult life, and in my many years work as a conductor of a Norwegian choir specializing in Greek music (!), I have experienced the need to enrich the choirs repertoire with both folk song- as well as other -arrangements of Greek music: This gave me the opportunity to share with our audiences some of the centuries-long musical heritage, as well as helping me make known to them some of the History behind the music of a country of such international historical influence in the past, and such a tourist magnet in our times.
