The Chios Music Festival returns with its summer edition and a redesigned artistic program focusing on Greek artists and at the same time offering the conditions for new and original creative collaborations. Thus, Sokratis Sinopoulos will collaborate with Martha Mavroidi while three different quartets will create a musical bridge from classical to traditional and jazz music. In addition, on the occasion of the 50th anniversary of the death of Jani Christou, the festival honours the pioneer composer by screening a documentary by Costis Zouliatis. Finally, along with the concerts, there will be workshops for child refugees and masterclasses for the students of the Chios Music School with the singer Ghays Mansour from Syria.
