Mr. Theodorakis,
I am a physician from San Marcos, Texas. My friend (Anastasia Aggelaki, originally from Lamia) and I will be traveling in Greece next week (April 29 to May 11, 2008). We will be in Athens some of this time. Anastasia's brother is a physics professor at one of the Universities in Athens.
Several years ago, Anastasia introduced me to your music and your political quest world peace and understanding. We very much appreciate what you have accomplished in your illustrious life.
As a tribute to you, I have been instrumental in having my local classical music station (KMFA-FM) in Austin, Texas, present some of your music. Dr. Dan Welcher (Composer at the Univ. of Texas) played Canto General almost in its entirety on two hour long programs in October 2007 and Axion Este on another program in December.
Brian Satterwhite (a local film score composer) played some of your film music on his hour long program in November 2007.
I have contacted the local opera company to request that they present one of your operas in the future.
Are there any concerts or other events that you have planned during the period of time we will be in Greece?
We would be very appreciative if we could attend one of them or meet you to express our gratitude personally.
If this is not possible, we still are greatful for the opportunity to visit Greece and pay our respects.
With utmost repect for what you have done,
Charles Anderson, MD
Anastasia Aggelaki
