Welcome to the 2025 events of the Greek Ministry of Culture’s initiative “All of Greece, One Culture.”
Having set poems by great Greek writers to music in their own unique way, the legendary band Ypogeia Revmata will present a special concert featuring a blend of new and older works, all reimagined for this “secret” performance at the Venetian Fortezza Castle in Rethymno, Crete.
This atmospheric experience aims to spark dialogue and inspiration by bridging classical heritage with contemporary artistic expression.
Alongside the concert, visual artist Rena Papageorgiou will exhibit her works — portraits of Greek poets, painted in her distinct, abstract but deeply respectful style.
This tribute to poetry and creativity sets the past as a source of artistic inspiration, with music and art weaving together to offer the audience a truly immersive experience.
This event is part of the 2025 “All of Greece, One Culture” programme by the Ministry of Culture.
