The Klarino Maestro of Epirus - Rory Allardice on Grigoris Kapsalis and the Vitsa Panigyri

Rory's Travel Journals

So glad Rory managed to get to Vitsa, for the first night of the famous panigyri.

"It was very moving and all the more so as the 87 year old maestro also informed Takkis that this was probably the last time he would play at this festival....It had been a memorable trip and I felt privileged to have seen such an esteemed representative of the culture of Epirus and thankful to have been part of this event".
