Opening concert
The Athens State Orchestra kicks off its 2012-2013 season with two truly titanic works
The Athens State Orchestra kicks off its 2012-2013 season with two truly titanic works: the Violin Concerto by the great Nikos Skalkottas with the celebrated Greek virtuoso Giorgos Demertzis playing the solo part, and Mahler’s First Symphony, a work which combines the freshness of youth with fathomless metaphysical depth. The concert will be conducted by the A.S.O’s chief conductor and artistic director, Vassilis Christopoulos.
