Maria Farantouri
Biography

Maria Farantouri has been referred to as the "Joan Baez of the Mediterranean" by "Le Monde". "Her singular voice is a gift of the Olympic Gods", wrote "The Guardian". And François Mitterrand enthused : "For me, Maria is Greece. This is how I imagine the goddess Hera : strong, pure and vigilant. I know of no other artist who has given so much meaning to the word sublime."

Maria Farantouri has had huge successes with her innumerable concerts all over the world and has left an indelible impression everywhere. She is considered the ideal performer of the songs and other works of the world-famous Greek composer, Mikis Theodorakis, and thus of the New Greek Song.

Born in 1947, music and singing soon became a passion for Maria. After early performances with a choir, her unique contralto voice fast turned her into a celebrated soloist. She was only 16 years old when Mikis Theodorakis discovered her, announcing : "You will become my priestess."

Out of this prophecy developed an artistic and personal friendship which is still flourishing and which has been crowned by numerous records, concert tours and musical projects. Characteristic of these are musical settings of lyrics by major poets, both Greek (Elytis, Seferis, Kalvos, Ritsos) and international (Pablo Neruda, Federico Garcia Lorca...), which lend poetry and depth to her singing.

Forced into exile after the military coup in April 1967, she became a symbol of resistance and democracy through the hundreds of concerts she gave with songs by Mikis Theodorakis, meanwhile a prisoner of the junta.

After her return to Greece in 1974, Maria Farantouri embarked on a number of projects together with some very different artists, which extended and varied her musical repertoire. She worked, among others, with John Williams, Zülfü Livaneli, Leo Brower, Lucio Dalla and Maria del Mar Bonet. Maria Farantouri recorded many albums with songs by Manos Loizos, Eleni Karaindrou and Manos Chatzidakis, but also Bertolt Brecht. Highly valued and exemplary of her musical message is the performance of the "Mauthausen" Cycle by Theodorakis, with the Israel Symphony Orchestra under Zubin Mehta in 1991.

Fusing the worlds of (modern) classical, world music and the Greek musical tradition with her own luminous artistic universe, her unique voice and interpretation has always been one of Maria Farantouri's outstanding qualities : her current tour is yet more evidence of the fascinating results.

Apart from well-known songs from her huge repertoire, built up over decades of artistic development, Maria Farantouri will present songs taken from her latest project. It includes a collection of authentic folksongs from Macedonia and Epirus, as well as unpublished songs by Mikis Theodorakis, inspired by this musical tradition. Revised by Henning Schmiedt and reworked into a new modern form, the songs once again build a bridge between folk art and sophisticated art songs.
