Ioanna Gika Instagram – It was such a pleasure to perform with Oliver Coates for the @dior 2022 cruise presentation in Athens, Greece. A few short months ago I put a song of his on a playlist, not knowing that soon after we would be joining forces.
Oliver and the City of Athens Symphony Orchestra @opanda.gr breathed life into my album Thalassa (5 songs of the night, one of which was new!) in a way that moved me very deeply. The order of my songs was Thalassa, a new song, Swan, Messenger, Roseate, as the beautiful creations of @mariagraziachiuri made their way around the stadium.
Many thanks to @ollycoates for working with me, conducting, playing the cello with great intuition, and beautifully presenting his material, as well as Arca’s, and to @michelgaubert and @theeryanaguilar for music supervision, and Ryan for the 📷.
Full music show credits in my earlier post, but thank you also to Leo Ross for being a great talent, Alain for sonic majesty, City of Athens Symphony Orchestra @opanda.gr , @timothywilliamsofficial for his lightning speed arrangements, @mattcohenmusic for notations and assistance, @chriselmsmusic for many strengths, and everyone who made this possible. As a special bonus, I went to the oracle and put a curse on all your enemies. Love u!! | Posted on 23/Jun/2021 20:48:03
