The joy of living – Slavic Soul I
Fri. 03 October 2014 20:30
Megaron – The Athens Concert Hall
Christos Lambrakis Hall
This opening concert introduces one of the two main thematic threads running through the Athens State Orchestra's concerts this season: works by Slavic composers from central and eastern Europe. The orchestra's new artistic director, Stefanos Tsialis, conducts two celebrated symphonic works by the great Czech composer Antonín Dvorák along with the lyrical first piano concerto by the 'poet of the piano', Frédéric Chopin, with the ever-fascinating pianist Thodoris Tzovanakis.
