Opening concert of the artistic period 2020-2021
Following a decision of the Government, the Athens State Orchestra will not be able to receive audience to the opening concert of the artistic period 2020-2021. The concert will be available on line the same day and hour (Friday, 9th October, 20:30) on our YouTube channel and on the Facebook page of the Orchestra.
The opening piece of this artistic season will be Beethoven's Fifth Symphony, a symphony that marked the evolution of symphonic music and has been the symbol of the genuine passion and the most cataclysmic dramatism. But, even Beethoven's lesser-known works offer up real beauty and splendour to be discovered—and this is most certainly the case with the Name Day (Namensfeier) Overture. On the other hand, Tchaikovsky First Piano Concerto is anything but lesser-known. One of the most popular works in the symphonic repertoire, it will performed on this occasion by the celebrated soloist, Fil Liotis.
