The Thessaloniki State Symphony Orchestra, in collaboration with the Thessaloniki Film Festival and the Thessaloniki Concert Hall, present 'The Planets', an alternative encounter with the Outer Space, through a combination of sound and image.
Using the famous titular symphonic piece by Gustav Holst as their vehicle, young and older audiences will have the opportunity to travel around the planets of our solar system, through symbolisms and emotions triggered by the British composer’s music.
This venture will be accompanied by a unique video-collage featuring scenes from the history of world cinema, in an audiovisual piece conducted by the Thessaloniki Film Festival exclusively for this occasion.
