4 July 2020 – 29 September 2020
The feeling that characterizes 20 years of FN is that of lightning, of the lightning flash, of the lightning-fast flow of time, just as time flows when it becomes creative, influential and fruitful.
Birthday ceremonies are an opportunity for appreciation, deconstruction and rebirth. A fruitful transition to the new normal. One such moment is 2020 for the Naxos Festival.
