Novmbr November at the SNF 11. 2019 The month takes o on 04/11, with Beethoven by the Camerata – The Friends of Music Orchestra under the baton of acclaimed conductor George Petrou. “...and then I asked him with my eyes to ask again yes and then he asked me would I yes to say yes...”: On 10/11, Reni Pittaki becomes Molly Bloom from James Joyce’s Ulysses in Parabases – SNFCC Reader’s Theater, under the direction of Dimitris Karantzas. “Finally, you realize that you read. You turn page": Daily, The Quiet Volume, the Autoteatro performance of Ant Hampton and Tim Etchells, introduces us to a unique experience of reading and encourages us to discover one another. In November’s music pursuits, we travel through the electronica, ambient and techno soundscapes of Mikael Delta (16/11) while trumpet player Georgina Jackson and harpist Maria-Christina Harper join forces in their new project Women of Jazz, creating a dynamic duet of exciting jazz sounds at the SNFCC Lighthouse (24/11). “…this is music that allows people to let go and feel their own true emotions – which can sometimes lead to some very intense responses”: On 25/11, Echo Collective, who infuse a wide variety of music styles with their classical sensibilities, perform 12 Conversations with Thilo Heinzmann, a composition by Jóhann Jóhannsson. Bauhaus at 100, SNFCC’s latest collaboration with Goethe-Institut Athen keeps on giving, with new lectures and workshops, exploring the legacy of the Bauhaus School. POETICAL WORKS: In November, the journey into the pictorial world of Jannis Psychopedis continues, with a major exhibition in which painting meets poetry.

And, of course, the countdown for the SNFCC Christmas World begins! Stay tuned!
