Concerts for Organ and orchestra

Megaron – The Athens Concert Hall
Christos Lambrakis Hall

The organ's world has its own stars- and one of them indisputably is the French virtuoso, Vincent Dubois. Nowadays also known as the famous Paris Notre- Dame titular organist, Dubois, after receiving his first awards in 2002 in the demanding international organ competitions of Calgary and Toulouse, he has evolved into a world- range rare phenomenon. As a worthy successor of the great French tradition in organ, Dubois promises a dynamic performance of Jongen's glorious Symphonie concertante, which is for many people the most impressive and plethoric symphonic organ-led work of the first half of the 20th century!
