Today, March 11, marks the anniversary of the death in 1978 of Sofia Vembo, the legendary singer and actress whose voice is associated with the Greek Army’s victory against Italian fascist forces in the early stages of WWII on the Albanian front.
A year ago, in commemoration of the 80th anniversary of Greece’s entry into the Second World War and the 110th anniversary of Vembo’s birth in Gallipoli, the St. Maximus the Greek Institute unveiled a new musical compilation of songs performed by her.
The 12 songs are performed by a chorus of 350 children, led by choir director Sofia Manou, and with a composition by Dina Georgoutzou.
The album is available on the Institute’s digital platforms.
