which took place in 1995, in the Odeon of Herodes Atticus, under the direction of Dick Baker. It consisted of two musical performances which moved and captivated the public through a song list which was dedicated to the soundtracks and the songs by Mikis Theodorakis the performances were recorded live and, consequently, released by EMI CLASSICS in fifteen countries, in an album titled "GEORGE DALARAS & METROPOLE ORCHESTRA". The artist’s next collaboration with one of the most prominent and long-existent choirs in Europe took part when, in 1996, he interpreted Ariel Ramirez Misa Criolla Mass accompanied by the choir of the Deutsche Oper Berlin in the Berlin Opera. It was a much anticipated concert since, the tickets had long been sold out and, so much the daily press as well as the opera leaflets had extensively referred to the event. The fact that, the concert was transmitted live by SPF –a radio station with a predominantly classical repertoire- is worth mentioning. The next event was to be with the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra, one of the most outstanding orchestras worldwide. In 1997, the Orchestra invited George Dalaras to stage two concerts in the Tel Aviv Mann Auditorium. The orchestra was conducted by Ilias Voudouris. It was a collaboration which materialized, in the best possible way, George Dalaras’ long desire to interpret a number of the most brilliant Greek songs accompanied by a symphony orchestra. The internationally acknowledged interpretation skills of the Philharmonic Orchestra came together with the powerful and charismatic stage presence, the promptness and, lastly, the soulful interpretation of George Dalaras in an unfolding of the portrait of contemporary Greek music. A musical journey which began from the rebetiko songs to cross over to his big hits, to all-time classics by prominent Greek composers, to melodies from the Mediterranean as well as to medieval songs by the Jewish population in Spain (ladino). The live recordings of these performances were internationally released in April 1999 by EMI CLASSICS in a digital disc titled: "GEORGE DALARAS AND THE ISRAEL PHILHARMONIC ORCHESTRA", a release which made quite a stir. In parallel, George Dalaras has collaborated with the Camerata - Friends of Music Orchestra in 1994, on the stage of the Athens Concert Hall in both the "...and by light and by death incessantly" and the "Angel Hymns in Human Rhythms" musical performances by Stavros Kougioumtzis under the direction of Alexandros Myrat. In 1999, George Dalaras collaborated with the Osipov State Russian Folk Orchestra. It was a high standard collaboration which made an impression by means of its simplicity and its musicality. Thousands of spectators went for a standing ovation following George Dalaras’ interpretation of songs by Greek composers as well as of ballads from the Mediterranean. These versions were magnificently executed by the Ossipov Orchestra which is one of the most famous and grand orchestras worldwide
because
there
weren’t
any
kids
living
there
and
the
home
had
a
very
stark
and
cold
feel
to
it
It
was
definitely
the
minimalist
style
this
homeowner
had
that
left
me
puzzled
The
children’s
art
paintings
that
I
ended
up
choosing
for
the
hallway
were
all
from
the
same
artist
The
artist
specialized
in
mini
paintings
and
they
were
all
so
simple
and
beautiful
They
actually
fit
with
the
owner’s
style
I
had
each
painting
put
into
a
simple
frame
with
no
matting
and
hung
them
all
along
the
long
hallway
I
actually
liked
this
artist
so
much
that
I
purchased
twice
as
many
children’s
art
paintings
than
I
needed
to
complete
the
hallway
job
I
plan
to
give
these
paintings
as
gifts
to
people
that
I
know
with
either
a
child
or
a
whimsical
spirit
I
even
liked
the
artist’s
name
Lollipop
Art
I
was
asked
to
add
some
decorations
to
a
family’s
daughter’s
room
The
family
was
extremely
active
and
bicycling
seemed
to
be
the
primary
family
exercise
I
thought
it
would
be
fun
to
find
some
children’s
art
painting
that
depicting
cycling
in
a
fun
way
I
found
an
acrylic
signed
by
the
artist
of
a
woman
on
a
bike
with
a
child
and
a
yellow
balloon
I
had
a
client
call
me
asking
about
buying
a
children’s
art
painting
by
artist
Stephanie
Bauer
The
painting
was
called
Dragonfly
I
did
find
the
painting
and
also
found
that
it
was
not
for
sale
Fortunately
there
is
a
fine
art
print
made
from
this
painting
My
client
was
more
than
happy
to
purchase
the
print
and
have
it
framed
in
an
extremely
nice
frame
It
hangs
in
her
daughter’s
room
now
She
loves
it
because
it
is
pink!
I
was
hired
to
find
a
painting
for
the
waiting
room
at
a
local
dance
studio
I
found
that
all
of
the
classes
were
for
children
so
I
looked
for
.
