ErmisVickyLee Trio

The beloved ‘Ermis-Vicky-Lee’ Trio returns to Technopolis 20 stage, on Thursday, 9th of November, at 8pm. Like every time, we are looking forward for a beautiful and delightful music evening, with the touching voice of Vasiliki Anastasiou and the talented musicians, Ermis Michail on guitar and Andreas Panteli on piano.

Enjoy the trio, as they say themselves, in “songs we like to play”. Listen to their favourite Soul, Jazz and Pop songs, incorporating strong influences from blues and gospel rhythm in their music, along with a selection of Greek songs arranged in a jazz sound.

It is worthy of mention that Vasiliki is also the conductor and founder of the Amalgamation Women's Choir that performed at the official Commonwealth Day ceremony held at Westminster Abbey in London last March and she has also received the Madame Figaro’s award of ‘Woman of the Year’ in the Musician category, only two weeks ago.
