In an effort to promote Hellenic Culture in the Southwest region of the US, Hellenic cultureal center of the southwest and the Cretans of Houston, present for 2nd year in a row, the musical event of the year. On the 17th of September, at 5:30 PM CST, at the Wortham Center of Houston (house of Houston’s Grand Opera) in the Cullen Theater, we present to quality music lovers, Greek Belle Epoque: The Tango Era.

This year in Houston's best venue, there will be the first time to be presented ever musical masterpieces writen 100 years ago but never before in public. Along with them, you will be able to sing some well known tunes from Greece and from the international music space. The velvety voice of Hrysoula Stefanaki, faithful to the aesthetic ideals of the Mid-War Era and the music arrangement of David Nachmias, make this show a real time machine filled with the colors and aesthetics that gave us this great pure art form.

We are creating Hellenic History in Houston! Be there to experience first hand the richness of Greek heritage. This year it is of the utmost importance to get to know what Greece can offer. We feel that we can borrow again the same phrase from last year's presentation: "Enjoy this special tribute to the songs that marked an entire era, which has remained alive strong and beloved until nowadays. These masterpieces are classics, expressing rare kindness, elegance and sophistication."

Experience once again the universality of Greek civilization condensed in the golden song creations of the first part of twentieth century.

The proceeds from this event will go towards the Building Fund to establish a Greek Museum and Center in Houston TX
