Renowned Greek composer and political activist Mikis Theodorakis received a standing ovation in Vienna on Friday at a concert given in his honour.

The concert, attended by nearly 2,000 people, was devoted to Theodorakis' symphonic works, including "Mauthausen", "Requiem" and "Third Symphony". Performers included singer Maria Farantouri, the Vienna Chamber Orchestra, the Vienna Academy Chorus, the Geboldtskirchen Children Chorale, conducted by Stefan Vladar and singers Mara Mastalir, Lisa Maria Jang and Daniel Serafin.

Mauthausen, named after the concentration camp in Upper Austria, had its world premier at the camp site in May 1988 at a concert attended by then-Chancellor Franz Vranitzky and the late writer Iakovos Kampanellis, a camp survivor, who had written the lyrics on which the symphony was based.
