Acclaimed International powerhouse tenor and classical-crossover Greek artist Mario Frangoulis will grace audiences in the launch of a highly anticipated 2013 concert series this spring, “Beautiful Things,” as part of the launch of his newly released public television program and DVD “Mario Frangoulis LIVE With The Boston Pops” currently airing across the United States and Canada.

This one-night performance in Washington, DC features everything from new compositions by David Foster and Andrea Bocelli, Stephan Moccio, and Robin Gibb, to songs Mario made famous like “Vincero, Perdero,” the Italian version of “Nights in White Satin” by Justin Hayward from his “Sometimes I Dream” album, and “Here’s To The Heroes” written by Don Black from his “Follow Your Heart” album – both fixtures on Billboard’s Classical Crossover charts. Frangoulis blends multiple musical styles, including opera, Pop Rock, Folk, Soul and R&B, and sings in English, Spanish, French, Italian and Greek. Frangoulis is joined by acclaimed female vocal group, Women of the World, who sing in 8 languages. His international ensemble from Greece, Cyprus, Jordan, Japan, India, the USA and Italy captivated audiences all over the world!
 

The Demeter Initiative, named after the Greek goddess of the harvest, is a program founded by the American Hellenic Educational Progressive Association (AHEPA), a leading membership-based association for the nation's millions of American citizens of Greek heritage and Philhellenes. Its goal is to raise a $100,000, which when combined with a matching donation of $100,000 from AHEPA Chapter 53, St. Louis, will provide $200,000 to be used for the following:

• Purchase food from local Greek farmers, thus providing economic support to the farmers.
• Hire workers in Greece to deliver the purchased food to 35 participating supermarkets throughout Greece thus further stimulating the economy with job creation.
• Distribute the delivered food to eligible needy families through the supermarkets at no cost to the families.

AHEPA will be working in cooperation with the International Orthodox Christian Charities (IOCC) which will help secure the food from farmers and provide it to the 35 participating supermarket chains in Greece.
