From Europe to America

Tue. 31 March 2026 19:00

Acropolis Museum

Antonin Dvorak and Manos Hadjidakis are two completely different composers, originating from different countries and centuries, with different styles, lives and experiences. However, they had something unexpected in common: They spent some years in the United States of America and more specifically in New York; the former from 1892 to 1895 and the latter from 1966 to 1972. Their two works performed at the concert are transcriptions of two famous works that the two composers conceived and completed in the United States.
