Once upon a time

Implementing an idea it presented for the first time in 2012, the HELLENIC PROJECT has set out to develop a repertoire which draws on Greek tradition for its inspiration and which seeks to educate as well as entertain. This year, two composer have undertaken to create a pair of musical fairy tales for narrator and symphony orchestra which will bring two traditional Greek folk tales to life. The works are to be performed by the Athens State Orchestra under the baton of a rising star, George Balatsinos.
