Honouring Byron Fidetzis

Byron Fidetzis gives his farewell concert as the principal conductor of the Athens State Orchestra after many years at its helm. An artist whose career has been tightly bound up with the Greek repertoire, he presents important works by Manolis Kalomiris and Spyridon Samaras alongside marvellous songs by Dvorak. The orchestration of all the works in the programme is his own work.
