A Family Affair
A Family Affair is an intimate portrait of the famous Xylouris family - three generations of musicians who uphold and pass on the vibrant tradition of Cretan music, performing ceaselessly to followers across the world. From the legendary Antonis Xylouris – widely known as Psarantonis – to his son, the famous lute player and singer George Xylouris – nicknamed Psarogiorgis – and his three children, Nikos, Antonis and Apollonia studying in Australia, Greece’s most famous musical clan, are to play together for the first time, performing at Womadelaide and the Forum in Melbourne. As the concert approaches, the children’s anxiety grows and their relationship with each other is tested. It is a pivotal time for all, before each pursues their own lives.
