MOUDROS, LEMNOS – Primary School
Recital by Dimitris Platanias & Sofia Tambakopoulou
Songs of Travel
One of Greece’s foremost lyrical artists on the international stage, baritone Dimitris Platanias , together with the distinguished pianist Sofia Tambakopoulou visits Lemnos for the first time, performing the iconic work Songs of Travel by the
English composer Ralph Vaughan Williams, set to the poetry of Robert Louis
Stevenson. From the author of Treasure Island, words and melodies evoke
journeys, imagination, and the passion for wandering — in a world, our world, full of
secrets and wonders.
In one of the oldest primary schools of the Northern Aegean, the historic stone
school of Moudros, still operating since the 19th century, these two extraordinary
Greek artists guide us into a musical immersion of magic and reflection — without a
safety net:
"In the heart of youth, the world is an avenue / It passes endlessly, it travels (…) at
dusk, lanterns call to it."
