The 4th ANO International Organ Festival has planned three concerts for August 2020. Those will take place at St. George’s Cathedral in Ano Syros. In compliance with the protocols aimed at containing the Covid-19 pandemic, the concerts will be virtual ones and held in the absence of any audiences. On the nights that the concerts take place, a festival projection screen will be set up at a specially selected outdoor spot around the island, a different one each time. Via that screen, a limited number of guests will be able to enjoy each concert. Free entrance.
