«With her incredible character, the European Music Day is transforming the City into a 3 day infinite multi-event production proposals and simultaneously an incredible energetic party involving everyone to change the side of
Athens into a musical Land»

“(Athens) Capital of the Music...»
Sonia Maggina. Adesmeutos Tupos. 16/06/07
«All the capital an infinite stage !...the European Music Day events have become an unconditional rendezvous of the citizens of Athens,
reaching audiences and crowd attendances of 100.000 spectators.»
Despina Kontaraki. Apogeumatini 18.06.2008
«the European Music Day gives a NEW BIRTH to the City. Because it succeeded into changing the way we see the city. Because it shakes the walls and the urban constructions with it subwoofers(...) The city vibes grooves also with
young Greek talents, and this is worth it».
Athens Voice. 22/06/08
« The sky of Athens was full of music. The avalanche of sounds and colours continued on overloaded squares. Electro Pop Music was in Kotzia square, world trad at Technopolis, and many Indie bands in Klafthmonos.»
