Cosmos: Alexia and El Sistema Greece in a Christmas Jazz Concert
From 19 December to 26 December 2022 · ATHENS
The Stavros Niarchos Foundation Cultural Center (SNFCC) will be welcoming at Stavros Niarchos Hall the renowned singer Alexia, with her timeless presence and unique voice, in a very special collaboration with the multicultural symphony orchestra of El Sistema Greece.
Shortly before Christmas, El Sistema Greece joins forces with Alexia and her band to present some of the world’s best loved Christmas film songs, dating from the early 1900s to the golden age of Hollywood, under the baton of conductor José Ángel Salazar Marín. Combining jazz with classical music, the masterful musical arrangements ingeniously transpose the sounds of jazz, gospel and swing soundtracks straight into the heart of Athens. 60 young musicians, aged 10–26, featuring a diverse cultural background and tracing their origins in 30 different countries, interpret adaptations of classic tunes to accompany Alexia’s authentic jazz vocals and create a warm and fuzzy holiday atmosphere.
An unexpected joint appearance, featuring much loved Christmas songs, as well as international hits that are associated with this most magical time of the year, in new exciting covers.
