October at SNFCC - Εικόνα
01 October 2017

In October, the Stavros Niarchos Foundation Cultural Center (SNFCC) goes into autumn mode, with a program full of music, screenings, sports, and creative workshops for everyone. A series of tributes to Greek filmmakers is inaugurated this month at SNFCC, starting with the award-winning Nikos Nikolaidis and a three-day special series of events (05-07/10), with screenings, talks, and music concerts inspired by his filmography. In October, the Parklife series of concerts at the Great Lawn of the Stavros Niarchos Park concludes for this year, with Parklife Timeless, a melodic journey with Dimitra Galani and Efstathios Drakos. The month’s music offerings continue with Cinematic Piano – a concert by French jazz virtuoso pianist Jean-Michel Bernard, who performs jazz-infused covers of well-loved movie soundtracks. In the last ten days of October, two concerts await us at the Lighthouse: Music Escapades introduce us to more facets of the Greek alternative scene, presenting Sofia Sarri, and Jazz Chronicles continue, with the Harris Lambrakis Quartet sharing resonating experiences from the Greek and world music tradition.

The coming of the fall season also means that we wave goodbye to summer’s open-air cinemas and some of us are going back to school. For this reason, our open-air screening program, Park Your Cinema, culminates for this year in a tribute to School Days and closes with two screenings at the Great Lawn that capture the classroom mood; Park Your Cinema Kids presents two of Pixar’s most popular productions. As every month, outdoor activities continue, including sailing, kayaking, and family-friendly games, while many new ones are being added. Get ready to dance salsa at the Social Ballroom and disco with your children at Dream Disco Kidz; learn the basic principles of beekeeping; go for a very special picnic in the Park – and much more! Also, the SNFCC Running Team is set up for all of you running enthusiasts – join us for training every Sunday! Once again in October, admission to all SNFCC sports, educational and cultural events is free of charge thanks to the exclusive grant of the Stavros Niarchos Foundation, providing to visitors from Greece and all around the world the opportunity to be actively involved in our daily offerings.
