Wonderful mezzo soprano, Lotte Betts-Dean and virtuoso guitarist, Dimitris Soukaras return to the Paxos Festival stage this summer to offer us favorite songs that have accompanied special moments in their life and ours. Memories will be unlocked blurring the borders between past and present.

Our duo will be performing a musical program likened to a “diary of dreams”, music inspired by the magic moment between sleep and awakening. Join us in this dreamy musical world on a balmy summer night in our Loggos yard by the sea!
