As part of the Chamber Music Festival of the Thessaloniki State Symphony Orchestra and in co-production with the Archaeological Museum of Thessaloniki and the Ephorate of Paleoanthropology-Speleology, a concert will be held at the Petralona Cave featuring soprano Afroditi Patoulidou and Panagio Karamouzi on percussion. These concerts also serve as a prelude to the upcoming temporary exhibition of the Archaeological Museum of Thessaloniki titled "In the Cave: Stories from Darkness Brought to Light".
Two concerts will take place on the same day, Monday, April 28, with starting times at 20:00 and 21:15, exclusively for standing attendees and for a very limited number of people due to the particular nature of the venue.
