On May 12, 2026, at 8:30 p.m., the Greek Evangelical Church of Athens (50 Amalias Ave., 10558 Athens) will host the international choral concert VOCES UNITATIS, bringing together distinguished ensembles from Greece and the United States.

The concert features the Texas Woman’s University Concert Choir (Denton, Texas), conducted by Joni Jensen, and the Kodály Conservatory Mixed Choir, conducted by Michalis Patsas. The program features a diverse repertoire of traditional songs, secular and sacred choral music, highlighting both the cultural diversity and the shared musical heritage of the peoples.

The highlight of the evening will be the performance of Nikos Skalkotas’s work “Karagouna,” in a symbolic collaboration that highlights music’s power to unite different cultural identities.

“Music has the power to unite people in times of joy as well as in turbulent times. That is why we created the VOCES UNITATIS concert series, through which bridges of communication are built between musicians of different nationalities and their audiences,” states the artistic director of the Festival of Three, Dr. Kevin Meidl.

The concert aims to foster cultural dialogue and artistic collaboration through choral music, highlighting the concept of unity in diversity.

Free admission – voluntary donations to support choral music.
