Music from science fiction films

Sun. 12 October 2014 19:00

Megaron – The Athens Concert Hall
Christos Lambrakis Hall

Music is an integral part of the film experience, and some unarguably magnificent music has been written for the cinema down the decades; music that can continue to fascinate even when it is removed from its cinematic context. The Athens State Orchestra is delighted to invite its friends young and old to recall some of the music from their favourite science fiction films and enjoy it live in the concert hall.

Introduced by Stefanos Tsialis
