Beethoven year, concert in Trikala

The Athens State Orchestra travels to Trikala to open the Beethoven Year for the 200th anniversary of the death of the great composer. Two of his top works will be performed, which highlight two different but interrelated aspects of his creative genius. The Piano Concerto no. 3, a work of intense lyricism, drama and virtuosity, is an important milestone in the history of the piano concerto, while the emblematic Symphony no. 5, with its distinctive opening motif, remains a timeless symbol of human strength and victory over adversity. The soloist of the evening is the award-winning pianist of the younger generation Nikolas Pappas, under the musical direction of Eleni Kotsmanidou.
