On June 25, a major choreographed art performance was hosted at the site of the Stavros Niarchos Foundation Cultural Center (SNFCC), where the “Dance of the Cranes” unfolded; a creative music/dance performance inspired by the project’s architect, Renzo Piano, and executed by Myron Michailidis, the artistic director of the Greek National Opera (GNO).

The central protagonists of this innovative choreography were none other than the 10 construction cranes, working daily on the SNFCC site for the completion of the project, who “danced” to the music of Gustav Holst’s “The Planets”, with Renato Zanella’s unique choreography. The music was performed live on the site of the SNFCC, by the GNO Orchestra, conducted by Myron Michailidis.
