Christmas concert - Veria
Three very famous symphonic pieces which could be the movements of a symphony for Christmas. Our symphony, a promise that we will be coming to you, who, for various reasons cannot be our audience in our place... Reliable to this informal commitment, our Orchestra, under the baguette of Nikos Haliasas and with Dimitris Semsis, our leader violinist, as the soloist, presents a programme characteristic for its work, obviously in the spirit of Christmas, to the symphonic audience of Ioannina.

Benefit concert for the victims of wildfires
The unspeakable tragedy the relentless forest fire left behind in its wake in Attica this summer shook us all. Acting on our clear moral obligation to provide practical assistance to those fellow citizens whose lives were turned upside-down by this summer's wild fires, the Athens State Orchestra, thanks to the unselfish collaboration of eminent lyric singers, is organizing a gala with some of the most famous arias, duetti and orchestral excerpts. We hope that the concert, whose proceeds will go to the victims of the blaze, will serve as an opportunity for raising our collective awareness and for remembrance.
Vladimir Ashkenazy conducts the Athens State Orchestra
That conductors with the highest of international profiles should enjoy and seek out their regular collaborations with the Athens State Orchestra is a great honour—and a huge responsibility—for us all. One such conductor, the great Vladimir Ashkenazy, will be joining us in Athens once again this year. His Art and his choice of works for the concert will guarantee music-lovers a glorious finale to the season.
Musical promenades at the Museums - Academy of Young Musicians of the A.S.O.
The training our young colleagues receive at the Athens State Orchestra Young Musicians' Academy could hardly fail to include chamber music, which provides musicians with an indispensable schooling in listening to, understanding, and responding to one another. We are certain that our students in the strings and brass classes will give of their best and move everyone who places themselves in their hands for the duration of the concert!
