From Latin America to Paris
Fri. 27 February 2015 20:30
Megaron – The Athens Concert Hall
How can an exotic journey fail to stimulate an artist’s imagination? When Gershwin traveled to Paris and later to Cuba, and Milhaud spent some time in Brazil, their impressions formed the starting point for charming, light-hearted works which the principal conductor of the Romanian Radio Orchestras and Choirs Tiberiu Soare conducts for our enjoyment. The programme is rounded off with the sensual Tango Suite by the Argentine Astor Piazzola, performed by the distinguished saxophonist, Theodoros Kerkezos.
