Crowds of citizens bid farewell to Dionysis Savvopoulos, their “Nion”, the great composer of Greece and the Greeks, from the morning on the popular pilgrimage. They were moved by the mournful lines played by the Navy band.
“With my little money, I had a tape of Savvopoulos” said one of those coming to the Metropolis of Athens, characteristically moved. His songs, our memories, our experiences and our feelings. “Clouds” on Saturday in Metropolis…
The funeral of Dionysis Savvopoulos, who died last Tuesday at the age of 81, will be held in the Metropolis of Athens, at 1:00 p.m. and burial will follow in the First Cemetery of Athens. Artists, men of letters and representatives of political life attend the Cathedral, paying tribute to his memory.
