Megaron – The Athens Concert Hall
Christos Lambrakis Hall
The former artistic director of the Athens State Orchestra, Stefanos Tsialis, has proven his love for Spanish music many times in the past. Returning to the orchestra he led for six years, he also returns to the music of the leading Spanish composer of the 20th century, Manuel de Falla, with all its brio, pride, vitality, harmonic sensuality and dance energy. The guest soloist for the concert is the rising star of the viola, the American Marc Sabbah, the viola soloist of the Belgian National Orchestra and a virtuoso at the height of his powers, capable of rendering every virtue of his instrument, both obvious and less so, plain to hear.
