The outstanding album PEACE IS WHEN… is first album in a series dedicated to the one of Greece’s leading composer, Christos Samaras. The recording includes 17 songs that run the gamut of the “Thamyriades” Female Vocal Ensemble of Polygyros Halkidiki repertoire – from full-voice style pieces to the women’s work song tradition of Greek Macedonia. Samaras turned a wonderful Greek poetry by Odysseas Elytis, Nikiforos Vrettakos, George Seferis, Kostis Palamas, Georgios Drossinis, Tellos Agras to the beautiful Greek songs.
