Celebrate the 80th anniversary of OXI
1940 - 2020
Aiming at what unites us and brings us together, us Hellenes
Re-discovered ELLADA. In our Odyssey we were amazed to find that the
“treasure” we looked for around the world, was always there at the
shores of the Aegean, the white Houses of the islands, the songs, and
dance and the “Opa”, the sentiment and the feelings, the heart and the
soul that blasts the “glenti”, the Filotimo that makes us heroes, the
inspiration that makes us dream and create, the tear as a result of
gratification, the tear that we shed with pride stating that we are
Human. All that is PATRIDA. Where Sophocles said: “There are many
wonders in the world but the main one is MAN”. The Timeless OXI of
Hellenism stands against any violence towards the main value of
Hellenism: MAN. And Man’s trip of a life to Ithaki.
Today
all of us will meet through ERT that will bring us to ELLADA and the
Spirit of OXI. The piano of David Nachmias will give life to the songs
and music that was orchestrated with the High Moral of the Hellenes
fighting on the mountains and the seas, singing with their heart.
Hellenes from all over the world will talk to each other and share their pride.
During this event, David Nachmias will play live music with 3 singers from Athens, and several important people of world Hellenism will send their greetings.
Dr. Manos Papadakis from the University of Houston will give us a 10-minute small lecture on "The Timeless OXI of Hellenism".
This original Online event will merge with Live TV, Radio, Facebook & Phone App to ensure the broadest coverage possible.
