Music Project, was held to great success at the Olympic Fencing Center on Monday 01 April, with music and fashion merging in the most originally creative event. Patrons apparently couldn’t hide their excitement, as tickets sold out in a flash days before the event!


On the big night, the audience filled the Olympic Fencing Center to the brim and enjoyed unique acts with lots of twists and surprises, set against an impressive stage created for the event. Popular singers from Greece and abroad joined forces with leading designers and fashion brands to please the crowd with their original creations and uplifting tunes.


Serkova Crystal Pure was the Grand Sponsor of the event. Smooth and velvety, with a soft spot for fashion, style, expression and individuality, Serkova Crystal Pure premium vodka is by far the most ideal pairing for this grand celebration of music and couture.

For the first time in the history of the event, the unique covers presented at MadWalk 2019 by Serkova Crystal Pure – The Fashion Music Project were played by a symphonic ensemble of 40 musicians under the baton of conductor Giorgos Zachariou.


This year’s creative efforts are dedicated to ELPIDA, the Association of Friends of Children with Cancer, as part of the proceedings will go towards purchasing the equipment required for the “ELPIDA Youth Summer Camp”, a 10-day therapeutic programme for young cancer survivors aged 9–16, organised for the third consecutive year by the “ELPIDA Youth” Committee. Yet another pioneering step of “ELPIDA, the Association of Friends of Children with Cancer”, this camp is the first of its kind in Greece. Marianna V. Vardinogiannis, President of “ELPIDA, the Association of Friends of Children with Cancer”, kindly attended the event.
