Pau Festival takes place for the 8th year in a row, with double concerts this time from 21st to 24th August, always supported by the University of Thessaly and the voluntary participation of members, friends and colleagues of the University's Music Ensembles. All these contribute to achieve an indelible aim: life, awareness and art, together as one.
"Notis' Mavroudis' Guitar Days" are referred to the music events dedicated to the memory of the famous composer and guitarist, Notis Mavroudis and, on that account, all concerts have guitar as the main subject. It's worth noting that Notis Mavroudis had attended Pau Festival many times, honouring this cultural attempt with his presence and stirring spirit.
