Vassilis Varvaresos, Georgios Balatsinos

With Passion

60 years since the death of Kalomiris

Famous scores fizzing with passion and unbridled emotion, but underlain by an unwavering attention to detail, are recreated under the direction of the celebrated maestro Georgios Balatsinos, with ever-brilliant contributions from the dazzlingly virtuosic Vassilis Varvaressos on piano. The programme also includes the première performance of a work of especial significance for Greek music: the Symphonic Fantasy from Kalomiris’ opera The Master Builder, based on the tragedy of the same name by Nikos Kazantzakis.
