Christmas concert

Sat. 18 December 2021 20:30

Megaron – The Athens Concert Hall
Christos Lambrakis Hall

At festive times of the year, we often seek to reconnect with those values great and small which we can lose sight of amidst the daily routine. For Christmas this year, the Athens State Orchestra will stage the concert it couldn’t perform last year due to the pandemic, playing the ‘Parthenon’ of the symphonic repertoire, Beethoven's revered Ninth Symphony, singing the ever-relevant “Ode to Joy” for its audience under the baton of the internationally renowned Estonian maestro, Mihkel Kütson.

19:30, free introductory speech by Titos Gouvelis for ticket holders
