2024 05 10 The Greek piano concerto
Fri. 10 May 2024 20:30
Megaron – The Athens Concert Hall
Christos Lambrakis Hall
Throughout its long career, the Athens State Orchestra has always served Greek music faithfully, in recognition of its value and its interest. This is what it sets out to do in this concert, too, which is dedicated to the Greek piano concerto. A genre little known, with very few exceptions, but certainly well worth a closer acquaintance, whether the concerto showcases the modernism of Nikos Skalkottas or the multifaceted collaboration between piano and orchestra in the work of Charis Vrontos, whose concerto's première performance this is. The programme peaks with Beethoven's symphony no. 1.
