The event will be joined by Floridante Ensemble from Estonia. Floridante Ensemble's repertoire is inspired by Eastern Europe's traditional music and extends to a wide variety which "embraces" from the living Estonian music tradition, influenced by the Russian and Scandinavian music history, till classic German and Italian baroque, as well as Christmas melodies of Europe. Having studied in acclaimed music academies in Finland, France and Denmark, Floridante Ensemble's members present a rich program of high quality which "magnetizes" the emotion of music-loving audience.

The ensemble's members are:

Meelis Orgse, baroque violin
Lisa Kawasaki, flute
Tonu Joesaar, cello
Saale Fischer, hapsichord



Baroque Ensemble Floridante

On stage, there will be personal items of Maria Callas, courteously granted by Mr Nikolaos Charalambopoulos, collector of items of the great Diva.

And this year, all revenue from the event will be given exclusively for the restoration study of the Winery building, which is at risk of collapse. It is one of the oldest buildings of the estate and was an innovative wine production unit on its era. Tatoi's wine has been awarded in grand international expos. The aim is the restoration and re-opening of the Winery as well as the organic wine production, the sales of which will provide income for the estate's maintenance. In order to cover the cost of the study, frequent fund raising events take place, since the cost of the study is particularly high due to the size of the building and its special demands.
