The Melanydros association and the association of Agios Petros came together for two musical evenings dedicated to community, singing and the bonds of friendship between our villages and their people.
On Saturday, 16 May 2026 at 19:00 we met in Neochori, at the old school, and on Sunday, 17 May 2026 at 19:00 in the square of Agios Petros — two evenings full of music, companionship and the authentic spirit of Greece.
Led by Helmut Strack, a member of Melanydros, and accompanied by his accordion, we came together to share songs and moments under the same sky. Anyone who wished could bring an instrument, or simply the joy of singing. Participation was free and open to all.
We sang songs by Theodorakis, Hadjidakis, Vamvakaris and other great composers — folk and traditional songs that remind us that music knows no borders.
“…for we do not sing to set ourselves apart from the world. We sing to bring people together.”
