Cyprien Katsaris

100 years since the birth of Mikis Theodorakis

This year marks the centenary of the birth of the great Greek composer Mikis Theodorakis, an artist who was marked by the turbulent times in which he lived, but left in turn his own mark on the era, expressing his vision for a better world through his compositions in both serious and popular genres, and through his political action. The great virtuoso Cyprien Katsaris, who was a close collaborator of Theodorakis, performs the composer's exhilarating First Suite, along with Liszt's electrifying Hungarian Fantasy. The distinguished maestro Zoi Tsokanou will also be conducting an elegant work by Lili Boulanger, the French composer who died very young, and the magnificent symphonic centrepiece of French impressionism, Claude Debussy's The Sea.
