Easter Concert

Co-production with Megaron - the Athens Concert Hall Organization

Serious music today is both entirely open to influences from other musical genres and constantly in search of new forms of expression and aspects that will appeal to the broadest possible audience. The prominent Greek composer Dimitrios Skyllas draws his inspiration from the austere beauty of the Greek folk tradition, and from Epirote laments, in particular. In his Requiem (1985), Andrew Lloyd Webber, the British composer who has given the world such celebrated musicals as The Phantom of the Opera and Cats, achieves a singular but highly successful tonal blend of the lyrical style of the musical and the contemporary musical avant-garde. Under the baton of Giorgos Vranos, the magnificent symphonic sound the work demands will shine forth as it simultaneously plays on our heartstrings.
