Performances

a look at the music of Vangelis Papathanassiou

 

Vangelis is a very private man and as an artist, Vangelis has given few performances over the years. Obviously, this makes each and every of his appearances a special occasion!

1949 According to the sleeve text of 'Direct' , Vangelis gave his first public performance at the age of six in a local theatre, performing for about 2000 spectators.

1963 - 1970 Vangelis appears as a performer in several bands, like the Forminx, the Papathanassiou Set and Aphrodite's Child.
