Mario Frangoulis Will Stream 'Blue Skies' An American Songbook Concert

Mario Frangoulis, international classical crossover tenor, hosts the premiere streaming of his sold-out concert "Blue Skies, An American Songbook" from the ancient theatre of the Herod Atticus Odeon at the foot of the Acropolis in Athens on May 7th.

A concert filled with favorite American Standards, great melodies and scripts of Broadway and Jazz, with music of Rodgers & Hammerstein, Irving Berlin, George Gershwin, Brecht & Weill, Cole Porter and all those great composers who have enriched the world of film and stage with their genius creations.

There's no mistaking when Mario Frangoulis takes the stage his remarkable voice takes over. His special guest is jazz singer Tammy McCann from Chicago and are accompanied by a Big Band Orchestra featuring international musicians and conducted by the incomparable Lucas Karytinos.

Mario will be hosting the evening live along with Tammy McCann and fans will have the opportunity to meet and chat with them, whilst taking in the breathtaking performance of 'Blue Skies' under the full moon of Athens.

In Frangoulis' own words: "In music and in theater, I must be flexible, adapting to what's happening around me, and experimenting with new and unique combinations of music and acting skills-this also translates to my sense of personal style. Life is a mosaic of experiences that make up who we are-there is no one "right" way to do anything...everything I do has to do with my truth, my feelings and my identity".

May 7th also marks the international release of Mario's new album "Blue Skies, An American Songbook", his 21st album, which is to support education and the Horatio Alger Association of Distinguished Americans which provides need-based scholarships to students who have faced adversity in their lives, an Organization that Frangoulis supports. www.horatioalger.org
