Mid-November is the heart of the city's indoor season. Small stages in Ladadika, the old slaughterhouse district and Toumba fill up with live music, while the Concert Hall and the university's ceremony hall host classical evenings.
Our top picks come first, followed by everything else by date: gigs, comedy, theatre, exhibitions, shows for children and a few free events. Use the category buttons to see only one kind of event.
Good to know: several concerts offer cheaper advance tickets, and some free events, like the Rotunda choir concert, need a reservation. Check the organiser's page before you go.
