George Perris
George Perris, is a multilingual recording and touring pop singer who has carved a somewhat unconventional path throughout his career. Born in Greece to a French mother and Greek father, he went from regional stardom to being the leading international Greek singer of his generation, having performed on some of the world’s greatest stages (Lincoln Center, New York; Odeon of Herodes Atticus, Athens; Place Des Arts, Montreal) and collaborated with internationally acclaimed artists such as Michel Legrand, Lara Fabian, Placido Domingo, Tina Arena and Mario Frangoulis.
George has also released two TV Specials on the American network PBS: Live At Jazz At Lincoln Center and Live At The Acropolis, both of which reached audiences of more than 150 million viewers. In December 2021 he was selected by the Grammy Recording Academy for their Global Spin series which showcases some of the world’s most prominent artists.
George recently became a UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador, focusing on combatting violence against children. A distinguished artist, he has been awarded the title of Chevalier de l’Ordre des Arts et des Lettres (Knight of the Order of Arts and Letters) by the French Ministry of Culture. The singer received one of France’s most prestigious distinctions, awarded to individuals who have made a significant contribution to the promotion of the arts and culture. The honour came just days ahead of his major performance at the Garden of the Athens Concert Hall.
