After the unqualified success of its first appearance, the ANO International Organ Festival expands its program by hosting outstanding events throughout the year. The festival’s main goal is to earn greater visibility amongst the fans of organ music in Greece and abroad and to showcase as well as breathe new life into the medieval settlement of Ano Syros.
During the Christmas period, the mesmerizing sound of the organ dominates over concerts and events throughout the world. In celebration of Christmas, the sounds of the superb organ housed in St. George’s Cathedral, Ano Syros, will be heard again. During the “ANO” Festival Christmas Concert, which will be held on Saturday, December 30, 2017, at 20:00 hours, Eleni Keventsidou (organ), Maria Lyberakou (soprano), and Anastasios Stellas (tenor) will perform works for solo organ music, as well as Christmas songs and traditional Christmas carols from France, Spain, Venezuela, and Puerto Rico. As with all ANO Festival events, concert access is free of charge.
