Celebrate beloved entertainer Nana Mouskouri’s 90th birthday at this special tribute concert presented by Katerini Manolatos and Mel Lathouras.

With a career spanning over seven decades and album sales in the hundreds of millions, Nana Mouskouri has a place in the hearts of music lovers from across the world. Just mention her name and people can’t help but reminisce about their love for her and her music.

Be transported back to another time as Katerini and Mel, accompanied by a seven-piece band featuring two bouzoukia, take you on a journey through Nana’s greatest hits and Greek favourites. Relive songs such as “The White Rose of Athens”, “Over and Over”, “Turn on the Sun”, “Enas Mythos” plus many more, and pay homage to this generous and humble artist.

Meet Katerini (She/Her)

Meanjin, born and raised, Katerini Manolatos, is a classical crossover singer who, immersed in the sounds of traditional Greek music during her childhood, trained in classical singing at the Queensland Conservatorium of Music. Now a highly esteemed registered music therapist, Kat intertwines her therapeutic expertise with a diverse repertoire of Greek, classical, jazz, and contemporary genres.

Meet ‘Little Mel’ (She/Her)

Hailing from Bundaberg, Mel Lathouras, soul jazz singer, comedian, and creator of Fearless Singer, was shaped by the 80s Greek pop music, rock 'n' roll, and rebetiko echoing through her family stereo. Armed with postgraduate qualifications in jazz, vocal pedagogy, and education, this Meanjin-based creative entrepreneur explores her Asia Minor, Greek café roots while connecting them to her expertise in jazz, blues, soul, and business.
