Singer-songwriter Monika, who has gained significant recognition both in Greece and internationally, returns to the stage of Rialto Theatre on July 12 with an all-English acoustic concert. This special performance will include everything audiences have loved about her since her first appearance on the music scene. She will present a different kind of show, accompanied by five musicians and her music.

Monika will be joined by a string section (cello and violin), an acoustic guitar and two exceptional vocalists, while she herself will play the guitar, saxophone and piano. The programme will feature both new and older beloved songs from her previous albums, presented in new arrangements. Starting from Avatar and stopping at various tracks from her most recent album, Proud, as well as selections from her three other English-language releases, Monika will offer audiences two full hours of wonderful music and emotion.

“The most beautiful journey is the one that is gifted to you through a song,” Monika said. “Whether you close your eyes and let the melody carry you away, or you look around, feel moved, sing or dance, or keep the rhythm with your hands alongside your loved ones, you always gain the most precious gift of any journey – change. And afterward, everything is clearer. More beautiful. Meaningful.”

With her wonderful melodies prevailing above all, and lyrics that capture with poetic tenderness all the emotions, thoughts and messages she wants to convey, Monika promises a cinematic journey full of emotion and rhythm.
