Τρεις γυναίκες. Τρεις ερμηνεύτριες. Τρεις ξεχωριστές διαδρομές. Οι Δήμητρα Γαλάνη, Ελένη Τσαλιγοπούλου και Γιώτα Νέγκα ένωσαν τις φωνές τους για πρώτη φορά το χειμώνα που μας πέρασε και το αποτέλεσμα ήταν μία σειρά μαγικών παραστάσεων που αγκαλιάστηκαν από το κοινό, έγιναν sold out και γνώρισαν αλλεπάλληλες παρατάσεις. Οι τρεις κυρίες, με χαρά και μεγάλο σεβασμό τραγουδούν αυτά που διατηρεί μέσα μας η μνήμη, τραγούδια που άντεξαν στο χρόνο, στις αυθεντικές τους εκτελέσεις αλλά και διασκευασμένα.
