An orchestra of forty musicians and eight singers on stage pay homage to a composer who elevated musicals to the category of great stage productions.

A Sondheim Night Music is a symphonic concert dedicated to the memory of the renowned composer Stephen Sondheim. The death of the Broadway composer shook the entire musical-theater world, indicating his undoubted influence on authors and performers all over the world. Sondheim's work elevated the genre of musical theater, presenting it as a performance language with infinite possibilities.

Sondheim's interest in exploring human nature, emotions, reflections and contradictions make his repertoire a genuine and inimitable body of work, which has represented a model of dramatic writing for decades.

The program offers a review of his best-known works for the theater, cinema and television, performed by eight of the best-known voices on today's musical-theater scene, along with faces from younger generations that are starting their careers as performers. It's a pleasant, festive and frenetic concert that aims to plunge the audience into the extensive body of work of a composer who, in the history of Broadway, will remain the alma mater of musical theater.
