THESSALONIKI CITY SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA
LITTLE STARS IN CONCERT
REGION OF CENTRAL MACEDONIA CULTURAL CENTRE IN COOPERATION WITH TCH & DIRECTORATE OF CULTURE & TOURISM OF THE CITY OF THESSALONIKI
The Thessaloniki City Symphony Orchestra accompanies children with special musical skills. Children who have such a great talent for music that from a very early age they can achieve very high musical standards. Child prodigies, as they are often called. The TCSO sent an invitation to the country’s conservatories for participants and, having received many applications, eleven children were chosen from Thessaloniki, other cities in Greece and abroad. These talented young musicians will interpret parts of concertos with the orchestra as well as solo Christmas songs.
