A concert marking the 100th anniversary of the union of the island of Samos with Greece will be performed on July 18 at the ancient theatre of Pythagorion. The Greek radio and television - ERT National Symphony Orchestra is scheduled to perform two works by composer Dimitris Themelis, a native of the island, directed by conductor Andreas Pylarinos. After the Greek State was established in 1827, the Great Powers of the time England, France and Russia did not include Samos as a part of it, even though it was at liberty. The Samians would not accept it, so in 1834 they were granted a form of political independence, under the patronage of the Great Powers, with the obligation of paying tribute to the Ottoman Empire. This regime remained until 1912, when Samos joined Greece. During this period, Samos experienced a significant economic prosperity.
