Τhe detailed programme is as follows:


A concert with transcriptions of Manos Hadjidakis' works by the vocal quartet Yasemi

17.00-17.35

GNO ALTERNATIVE STAGE

A programme with vocal adaptations of orchestral compositions from Gioconda's Smile and a compilation of songs from the complete works of Manos Hadjidakis', like, among others, "Away on the misty river" and “Peribanou (Noble Dame)”. Yasemi Quartet's approach to Manos Hadjidakis' work is based on the idea that the melodies of his works can be imprinted on memory in a way that an average listener without being particularly educated can reproduce them by humming the orchestral outbursts. This special characteristic seems to have served as a catalyst for the imprint of Hadjidakis' work on the collective memory.

"Yasemi" Vocal Quartet consists of: Eirini Derebei, Maria Melachrinou Martha Mavroidi, Tasos Poulios. Singers and musicians all at once, treat the voice as a multifaceted musical instrument.

Schoolwave bands "rework" his songs and music

22.00-23.15

GNO STAVROS NIARCHOS HALL

“That short and fat gentleman is our dark hero. He was born 80 years ago, and he never died. He continues to stay up all night and hang out with tramps, poets and naughty students”. That was the caption we wrote next to Hadjidakis' photo in the tribute we had prepared for him in the fifth issue of our magazine, “Schooligans” (October 2005). Naturally, most of our readers, 16 and 17year olds, didn't know who he was. It was a chance for them to discover him. A chance just like the one offered now by this tribute which will feature high school and university students' bands from the Schoolwave festival. A few months ago, most of them hadn't played Hadjidakis before. Some of them had not even listened to his music. But in their ignorance, they carried him inside them. And when they bowed over his songs and started “reworking” them, they discovered a relative in him. And as far as this “reworking” is concerned, unorthodox as it may sound, it is certain that Hadjidakis himself would enjoy it. He had even said that himself once in a radio comment: “My songs teach disobedience”.

Christos Ioannidis, Schooligans magazine manager/Schoolwave Festival

With the participation of School Wave bands:
- Boulevard, Alternative Rock (high school students) band from Athens
- Mysterios Typos, Hip Hop (students) band from Athens
- Gis Madiam, traditional polyphonic (high school students) band from Serres
