TRUMP TAJ MAHAL GRAND BALLROOM - ATLANTIC CITY, NJ
Hailed by livethnic.com as the "Best
Greek Band in NYC", Synolon was
founded by Greek composer Periklis
Kanaris in 2008 and has been consistently
selling out its concerts in the New York
Metropolitan area since its arrival.
Drawing its members from the city's professional music scene, the
band started out as a "best kept secret" which quickly spread
through word of mouth among college students and young professionals. It became the first local act to perform contemporary Greek
music in a dedicated live-music venue in Manhattan, receiving rave
reviews for introducing timeless Greek songs in a
way that authentically combined art and entertainment. The two dimensions were considered mutually exclusive until the band appeared in New
York's Greek music scene.
The journey continues... www.synolon.com
FAREWELL EXCURSION
