13-year old Beethoven, unknown artist c. 1783
Beethoven: 250 years
With the kind support of the Embassy of Belgium in Athens
Following on from his concert last year with the Athens State Orchestra, which delighted audiences and our musicians alike, the dynamic Belgian maestro Michel Tilkin returns to the podium to renew our relationship in a performance of Tchaikovsky’s heart-rending final Symphony. Beethoven's work deserves this season's tribute, given that 2020 will mark the 250th anniversary of the birth of a composer generally considered the greatest of all time. Against this backdrop, the distinguished pianist Charalambos Angelopoulos promises a fresh reading of the composer's extroverted and subtle second Concerto.
