Italian soiree
In collaboration with the Italian Cultural Institute
Fri. 20 October 2017 19:30
Megaron – The Athens Concert Hall
Christos Lambrakis Hall
The promising and active conductor Yorgos Balatsinos is leading an interesting musical tour in the enchanting Italy, in its history (Francesca da Rimini), its landscapes (Fontane di Roma) and, of course, its Music (Respighi, Martucci, Busoni), with the assistance of the acknowledged pianist, Francesco Nicolosi. Common characteristics of all the, more or less, familiar pieces of the concert are undeniably the romanticism, the passion and the melodiousness… in the Italian way.
