Concert at Kalavryta

The Athens State Orchestra’s summer concert tour begins this year in Kalavryta. The programme begins with a symphonic landmark of post-war Modernism: Phoenix Music by Greece’s great avant-garde composer, Jani Christou. This will be followed by two masterpieces by Beethoven: the Third Piano Concerto, with Thanasis Apostolopoulos at the keyboard, and the spellbinding Seventh Symphony, which Wagner famously described as the “apotheosis of the dance”.
