Anna Vissi to Perform at National Hellenic Museum Gala

Renowned musician Anna Vissi will headline the National Hellenic Museum’s Gala on May 14 at the Chicago Hilton

Her style has been described as a combination of Madonna and Celine Dion, and she's sold over 9.5 million records worldwide. Vissi is one of the top selling musical artists in Greece with 32 Platinum and 11 Gold certifications from IFPI Greece.

"Anna Vissi is an amazing singer with an electrifying stage presence," said Elizabeth Martin, Executive Director of the National Hellenic Museum. "We’re thrilled to have her as the headliner of this remarkable night."

The Gala is the Hellenic Museum’s most important fundraiser of the year, providing funds crucial to the non-profit organization’s mission to collect, preserve, share, and celebrate Hellenism and the Greek American experience. The evening will feature dinner, dancing and a spectacular live auction that includes an eight-day journey through Rome, Venice, Cortona, and a private villa in Tuscany with a personal driver and chef, historic walking tours, and an exhilarating visit to the Ferrari Museum and Factory to test drive a Ferrari.

"It’s a night for us to celebrate and honor our mission, and create opportunities for the future," said Martin.

Master of ceremonies for the event is Laura Evans Manatos, anchor of Fox 5 News at 5 in Washington, D.C.
