Megaron – The Athens Concert Hall
Christos Lambrakis Hall
The internationally-fêted maestro Frank Beermann at the helm of the Athens State Orchestra in a fascinatingly imaginative symphonic programme. We rarely have the opportunity to enjoy the Danish composer Carl Nielsen's Second Symphony, a work whose tempestuous mood changes and relentless intensity are further accentuated here by being paired with Respighi’s famous symphonic poem describing the pines in various locations around the Eternal City. The programme is rounded off with a performance of Ravel’s refined Piano Concerto by Alexia Mouza, the fiery up-and-coming soloist.
