CONCERT FOR PEACE

The Thessaloniki State Symphony Orchestra and the Greek National Opera present a unique concert dedicated to peace, featuring music that unites composers and performers who are regrettably separated by war.
The German-Jewish violinist Liv Migdal and the Iranian-German conductor Yalda Zamani join forces with the TSSO to deliver a powerful message of unity and hope through works that combine passion with decay. The programme features works by composers from various countries and cultures, including Bechara El-Khoury (Lebanon), Hossein Dehlavi (Iran), Paul Ben-Haim (Israel) and Richard Strauss (Germany).
