2024 12 23 Pilot Laboratory for Contemporary Music of the Athens State Orchestra, 2025
This summer, from August 18 to August 28, the Athens State Orchestra presents the Pilot Laboratory for Contemporary Music, in Spetses island, following its drive to expand its multi-level educational work. An action aimed at young conductors and composers, who are offered a comprehensive experience and the opportunity to work in a creative environment; an ideal incubator for the project, which will be hosted in the beautiful, renovated premises of the Anargyrios and Korgialenios School of Spetses. The Pilot Laboratory for Contemporary Music will lay its foundation for a stable educational and artistic institution of cultural exchange, and fruitful dialogue between young musicians both with their established colleagues from the Athens State Orchestra, as well as with internationally distinguished conductors, soloists and composers.
It will be a fiery 10-day intensive set of masterclasses, in groups but also one-on-one, when required, where what is offered is a unique experience of interpreting and directing new and emblematic works of the classical repertoire, both with and without audience. Unlocking a world of synergies and of live performance, that allows the test of a new composition and of a conductor under real conditions, the Athens State Orchestra can guarantee a level of organization that will produce a high achieving setting, paired with the additional advantage of a full and professional audiovisual recording. The Orchestra Conducting Masterclass and the Composition Masterclass are signed by chief conductor Loukas Karytinos and composer Yiannis Kyriakides.

2023 02 03 Symphonic Music: Stories in Lifo
The Athens State Orchestra has joined the world of Lifo podcasts. In the new series entitled "Symphonic Music: Stories", Matoula Kousteni reveals the interesting, funny and even tragic stories behind the great works of the symphonic repertoire which the Athens State Orchestra perform at the Athens Concert Hall. The series begins with Mahler's "Titan", the composer's First Symphony. In what way did the composer who lived for symphonic music change it? Listen to the podcast here and discover what the stories behind Mahler's monumental creation reveal about the passions, inner conflicts and models of a symphonic composer who would dominate serious music in the 20th century. They shed an eloquent light on the composer's life-long struggle with his medium, which would ultimately earn him the adulation of audiences and critics alike, but not happiness.
