Brian and Roger Eno’s Live At The Acropolis concert film, that is based on the brothers’ only combined live show at The Acropolis is set to be screened at selected theaters in Britain on March second. The concert was originally filmed at Odeon of Herodes Atticus amphitheater in Athens in August of 2021 as a part of the annual Epidaurus Festival.
The Enos decided to perform music off of their 2020 collaborative album, Mixing Colours as well as other fan favorites. They were also joined by Roger’s daughter Cecily Eno on vocals, ukulele and mandolin. Leo Abrahams was on guitar and Peter Chilvers played keys.
Brian Eno stated, “I don’t perform live very often, but I couldn’t miss the chance to perform in what may be the world’s oldest theatre, located at the birthplace of Western Civilisation, I’m grateful to Roger, Cecily, Leo and Peter who made this rare appearance memorable for me, and to the great film-maker Tilo Krause who managed to make a beautiful documentation of the whole event.”
Roger said that it was an honour to perform in the amphitheater that is a UNESCO Heritage Site. According to him, “But it is more than a mere memento or a document – it is a work of beauty in itself that can now be shared worldwide.”
