AEF2023: Gregory Porter

It’s that time of the year again, when Athenians start planning their summer holidays around the programme of the Athens Epidaurus Festival. The leading performing arts festival in Greece, and one of the oldest in Europe, returns between June 1st and August 26th for its 68th edition with a rich programme of events. As always, the main venues are the Odeon of Herodes Atticus, the industrial complex of Pireos 260 and the Ancient Theatre of Epidaurus.

Bridging the gap between jazz and soul is not as easy as it may sound. Many have tried, few have succeeded. Enter the two-time Grammy Award winning musician Gregory Porter, whose velvety blues-baritone voice has gained him global recognition as one of the most important jazz performers of our time. Catch him make his debut at the Herodion, an undoubtedly sell-out evening, right before he takes off for his three scheduled concerts at London’s Royal Albert Hall.
