The Athlete’s Symphony

Lead GNO & Tour Supporter

The Athlete’s Symphony is an original music theatre performance combining music with sports. In addition to soloists and a small instrumental ensemble, the production will feature children’s choirs and student musical ensembles from various music schools, municipal conservatories, and sports and arts groups from fifteen cities across Greece, where it will tour.

The development of physical training, the importance of mental health, addressing societal challenges, competition, strengthening self-esteem, self-discipline, dedication to goals, and embracing diversity are all elements that run through The Athlete’s Symphony, not as lessons but as lived experiences.

Through an everyday story about three friends who find an outlet in sports, The Athlete’s Symphony aims to talk about the values that shape our lives, our physical and mental health, coping with failures, accepting challenges, and enjoying everyday life.

The production will consistently involve active participation from children and teenagers who learn music while also engaging in sports, aiming to break down the clichés that divide these two activities and highlight their common elements. It will also offer children a chance to participate in a performance alongside professional artists.

Alexandros Mouzas wrote the libretto, composed the music, and conducts the performance, while Anna-Moscha Kambosou is responsible for the direction and stage supervision.
