Celebrate the 80^th  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.
