Ceremony
Olympic Torch Relay
The President of the Greek Olympic Committee, Mr. Lambis Nikolaou, bestowed Sevy with the honor
to compose and perform a work for the "Sydney 2000" Olympic Torch Ceremony in Andros, Greece.
At noon, on May 20, 2000, the Olympic Torch arrived by boat on Andros
island. It was passed by local athletes who ran it up to Andros' famous
"Square of the Monument to the Unknown Sailor". There, over 1000 people
awaited its arrival. The festivities were held at the square with Sevy's
performance as the finale.
Sevy presented her song, "Trumpet of Glory", in two languages
starting with Greek - in honor of the culture which founded the Olympics,
and finishing in English - as a gesture to the hosting country, Australia,
and its Olympic Committee representatives present at the ceremony in Andros.
Concert Celebration
Sevy performed "Trumpet of Glory" for a second time, opening the
concert of Miki Theodorakis' ensemble. After this second performance, the Mayor
of Andros, Dimitri Giannisis, presented Sevy with a special award.
