Mantzaros + 1

150 years since the death of Nikolaos Mantzaros

While Greeks everywhere may be familiar with Nikolaos Mantzaros as a name, since he composed our national anthem, the sad truth is that most of us know next to nothing about the remainder of his musical output. To mark the 150th anniversary of his death, the Athens State Orchestra is providing its audience with an opportunity to familiarize itself with works by the great Corfiote composer performed by musicians with an in-depth knowledge of his music. As an interesting counterpoint, the concert also includes a charming contemporary symphonic work by the imaginative American composer, John Adams.
