NEW WORLDS: THE CRADLE OF CIVILIZATION
FESTIVAL De CANNES 2021 - OFFICIAL SELECTION
Filmed one summer night in Greece, New Worlds: The Cradle of Civilization, captures screen legend Bill Murray and world-renowned cellist Jan Vogler’s final performance of their European “New Worlds” tour. Accompanied by violinist Mira Wang and pianist Vanessa Perez, Murray and Vogler rock the Acropolis with a timeless mix of literature and music on the 2,000 year-old stage of the Odeon of Herodes Atticus. By turns poignant and humorous the uniquely entertaining program is filled with Murray’s trademark charm. Murray and the classical trio dazzle the Athenian audience with musical reflections on hope, love and relationships.
