“My first time in Greece was in December 2015 in order to visit the Stavros Niarchos Foundation Cultural Center (SNFCC). I was overwhelmed. It was much more than I expected. Everything was extraordinary: The use of the land, the orientation of the park, its canal, the buildings of the National Opera and the National Library and of course the relation of the SNFCC with the sea,” said Limor Tomer, General Manager of Concerts and Lectures of the Metropolitan Museum of New York. Here in Athens she will be the Events’ Performance Curator of “Metamorphosis” – the four-day event taking place from the 23rd to the 26th of June that will transform the SNFCC into an open space of encounter, exploration and experimentation.
