Day of Music 2013

Fri. 21 June 2013 21:00

Megaron – The Athens Concert Hall
Garden

Although every day is filled with music for us at the Athens State Orchestra, how could we pass up the first-class opportunity Music Day presents to fill the lives of others with music, too! In the grounds of  Megaron – the Athens Concert Hall, the up-and-coming Dutch conductor Bas Wiegers will lead the Orchestra in some of the most enchanting works of the 20th-century repertoire. In this relaxed and informal al fresco atmosphere, the works, in which serious music is combined with jazz influences and Brazilian dance tunes, are sure to get the audience to their feet.
