[02] Mikis Theodorakis honored by Bosporus Univ. of Istanbul
ISTANBUL (ANA-MPA / A. Kourkoulas) -- Noted Greek composer Mikis
Theodorakis referred to the common musical tradition shared by modern
Greece and Turkey, in thanking Bosporus University (Bogazici
Universitesi) for awarding him a honorary doctorate, during a ceremony
here.
Theodorakis addressed the audience at the university's Hall of
Ceremonies, speaking via satellite link from his residence in Athens,
while he underlined that he is "filled with joy simply upon hearing the
word 'Bosporus'," saying he associates it with the Byzantine musical
tradition that has been an inspiration for much of his work.
The honorary degree was received on behalf of Theodorakis by performer
Maria Farantouri, an artist associated with many of the composer's best
known works.
