| Message | Allison, when you come in Greece you can play in our capital (Athens) in the Odeon of Herodes Atticus - is a stone theatre structure located on the south slope of the Acropolis of Athens. It was built in 161 AD by Herodes Atticus in memory of his wife, Aspasia Annia Regilla. It was originally a steep-sloped amphitheater with a three-story stone front wall and a wooden roof, and is used as a venue for music concerts with a capacity of 5,000 - or in the Athens Concert Hall (Founded in 1981, the Athens Concert Hall Organization is a non-profit-making agency administered by a board of trustees, half of whose members are appointed by the Ministry of Culture and Tourism, and half by the Friends of Music – also a non-profit-making charitable association. The Concert Hall is a creative arena for cultural and educational activities, an arts centre organized along contemporary lines to promote the role of culture in the community. It offers an excellent example of successful collaboration between the state and the private sector. We are committed to ensuring that all events staged at the Concert Hall are of the highest quality. The programmes consist largely but by no means exclusively of classical music and opera, complemented by more contemporary compositions, works from around the world, music by younger composers, as well as dance, theatre, cinema and the visual arts.
All the best,
Panos (Serres, Greece) |
