Two staple composers of modern Greek music, Mimis Plessas and Georgios Hatzinasios, participated, offering unique moments of high charged emotions. The two musicians collaborated on the stage playing both piano and singing great and beloved songs of the recent past accompanied by a team of young singers such as Spyros Klissas, Giota Nikolaou, Christos Papachristou, Dimitra Stathopoulou, George and Stavros Mylonadakis.

During the first 20 minutes of the ceremony there was a brief presentation of the program and its activities. Also, the great benefactors of the effort were honored with the organization’s Golden Wreath presented to them by UNESCO Ambassador Marianna Vardinogianni. The proceeds of the event will help to promote the books of the series “Hellenic Treasures of the Universe” (translated in nine languages) into foreign academic centers, parliaments, universities and governments and for the distribution of the two books regarding the project of "Thraki".
