2023 01 20 Giorgos Petrou with the Athens State Orchestra – A tribute to the memory of Karolos Trikolidis

Fri. 20 January 2023 20:30

Megaron – The Athens Concert Hall
Christos Lambrakis Hall

Exactly a year ago, the death of the eminent maestro Karolos Trikolidis, who had graced the podiums of major Greek and foreign orchestras for decades, left our musical world the poorer for his loss. The Athens State Orchestra honours his memory with a performance of the magnificent First Symphony by Bruckner, a composer whose symphonic works the late maestro had studied in depth and performed to acclaim. Iason Keramidis undertakes the solo duties in the premiere performance of the much-anticipated violin concerto by the tirelessly creative Dimitris Papadimitriou, conducted by the internationally acclaimed maestro George Petrou.
