Archbishop Makarios of Australia will honour the distinguished Conductor, George Ellis, and all the members of both the Millennium Choir and the Millennium Children’s Choir who performed so memorably at the Sydney 2000 Olympic Games Opening and Closing Ceremonies.
It was 15th September 2000 when the Millennium Choir of the Archdiocese presented the Olympic Anthem in Greek at the highest podium of Stadium Australia in a spectacular Ceremony made equally memorable by the performance of the Millennium Children’s Choir, both under the competent baton of George Ellis.
Archbishop Makarios, recognising the cultural and historic significance of those magnificent performances which made the Greek people of Australia and Greeks around the world so proud.
