Or the Battle of Sounds, the director Io Voulgaraki, the Youth Opera project coordinator Vangelis Hatzisimos and of course, the composer, Thodoris Economou were present to the panel discussion.
The discussion was followed by a concert by the musicians of the performance Musika! Or the Battle of Sounds, including:
