Loreena McKennitt’s Greek concerts rescheduled to close Mediterranean tour

June 8, 2009

Loreena McKennitt’s three concerts in Greece have been rescheduled, the singer announced today.  The tour, which was to have begun in Fez Morocco, will now open in Turkey, with a major concert in Istanbul on Saturday June 13 — and the Greek concerts will come at the end of the tour.

The rescheduled Greek dates are now June 27 at the Ancient Odeum at Patra, June 28 at Moni Lazariston in Thessaloniki, and June 29 at Theatro Vrachon in Athens.

Concertgoers do not need to exchange their tickets; tickets for the original dates will be honoured. Tickets are still available for the three concerts, and will return for sale on Tuesday, June 9.

Ms. McKennitt’s long awaited Mediterranean tour has been complicated by the illness of her mother, which caused the cancellation of a performance at the Festival of World Sacred Music in Fez Morocco.

“I am relieved that my mother’s health issues are stabilized, and look forward to embarking on this tour. I so look forward to meeting audiences in Turkey, Cyprus, Lebanon, Hungary, Sicily and Greece,” she stated.

As a result of the Fez cancellation and original Greek postponements, regrettably, Loreena’s appearance in Tel Aviv on June 18^th will be rescheduled at the request of the local promoter.
