Tectonics Festival – Athens 2017

Concert at Onassis Cultural Centre

Sat. 17 June 2017 07:30


How can an orchestra, the 19th-century beast, be more radical and experimental?” Taking this question as its starting point, Tectonics Festival has traveled to Glasgow, New York, Oslo, Reykjavik, Adelaide and Tel Aviv, breaking down sound barriers along the way and bringing together seemingly incompatible musical practices. In its Athenian version, the Athens State Orchestra plays under the baguette of the curator of the festival and celebrated conductor, Ilan Volkov and with Fred Frith, the distinguished guitarist.
