2023 05 15 Intimate Sounds

Mon. 15 May 2023 20:30

War Museum of Athens

Music can sometimes be a cry and sometimes a whisper. A ringing, lofty statement but also a hushed, intimate confession. The latter –music’s spiritual, inner dimension– is highlighted in the romantic and contemporary works performed here by the Athens Classical Players, a string ensemble made up of string musicians from the Athens State Orchestra.

At 19:30, one hour prior to the concert, a free guided tour at the Museum will be held for ticket holders.
