The highlight of our trip to Vienna was our concert in the Golden Hall of the Musikverein. In this magnificent hall, where the Vienna Philharmonic's New Year's Concert is broadcast every year, the “Yannis Mantakas” choir took to the stage and sang two Greek songs, "With the star-lantern" by Mikis Theodorakis, arranged by Panagis Barbatis, and "The Rose" by Manos Hadjidakis, arranged by Kostas Tsougras. It then joined 1,000 other choristers from around the world in performing Franz Schubert's last “Mass in E flat major”. It was a historic moment for our choir and a unique experience that will remain etched in all our memories.
