Love stories

Sun. 14 February 2016 19:30

Megaron – The Athens Concert Hall
Christos Lambrakis Hall

Love, passion, sacrifice, disappointment, enthusiasm and the ecstasy that follows, have always been at the epicenter of the seventh Art. The Athens State Orchestra, under Vladimiros Simeonidis's baguette, reminds us sensual, familiar melodies from beloved films that sealed their time -and not only.
