Conductor Antonio Méndez and violinist Leticia Moreno in an elegant editorial portrait for the Athens State Orchestra's performance of Vivaldi's The Four Seasons, photographed in a warm historic architectural interior with cinematic lighting and timeless classical atmosphere.

The active Spanish conductor, Antonio Mendez, has built strong artistic links with many of the top Europe orchestras; we hope that the same will happen with the Athens State Orchestra. For his debut in Athens, he chose major symphonic works of the beginning of Schubert’s and Mendelssohn’s Romanticism. The repertoire is completed by The Four Seasons of Buenos Aires, composed by the famous Argentinean composer Astor Piazzolla, featuring the Spanish violinist of Peruvian origin, Leticia Moreno, renown for her explosive temperament and the evocative dynamism of her performance.
