As we celebrate our 75th Anniversary, we remember absent friends of UNESCO, in particular Mikis Theodorakis, an iconic composer and a fighter for democracy and social justice, who sadly passed away recently.
Mikis was awarded the International Music Prize by the UNESCO International Music Council in 2005, and today, we honor his passion for music and his lifelong commitment to human dignity. This is all UNESCO stands for.
