The name of the great music composer, fighter and leading Greek composer Miki Theodorakis is now the name of the Larnaca Music School, after the official naming ceremony that took place in an emotionally charged atmosphere last night at the Municipal Theatre George Lykourgos in Larnaca.
The ceremony was attended by the Deputy Minister of Culture Mr. Michael Hatzigiannis. In his speech he said: "I am very touched by yesterday evening as my first official step as Deputy Minister of Culture was my presence at the concert of the Larnaca Music School in memory of Miki Theodorakis".
Mr Hatzigiannis referred to the fact that the Larnaca Music School is not institutionalized with its own programs and its own facilities even though 17 years have passed since its establishment and therefore he will convey the request to the Minister of Education, Mrs Athina Michailidou, so that as soon as possible it will become the Music School that everyone wants.
The evening ended with a concert by the Larnaca Music School, which presented, in its first pan-Cypriot performance, excerpts from its emblematic work "Canto General", with poetry by the Chilean poet Pablo Neruda, as well as excerpts from "Axion Esti" by Odysseus Elytis and "Spiritual March" by Angelos Sikelianos.
