2022 03 11 Statement and counter-statement: Stravinsky Year
Fri. 11 March 2022 20:30
Megaron – The Athens Concert Hall
Christos Lambrakis Hall
We don't often get to enjoy the French horn in a solo role, but this concert will give our audience the opportunity to enjoy the ethereal beauty of Richard Strauss's Concerto performed by one of the world's top horn players, Germany's Stefan Dohr, principal horn of the great Berlin Philharmonic. His compatriot Frank Beermann, a maestro with whom Athens music-lovers are already familiar, will lead the musicians of the Athens State Orchestra in a performance of Stravinsky's neoclassical masterpiece Dumbarton Oaks followed by Schumann’s iconic Rhenish Symphony.
19:30, free introductory speech by Titos Gouvelis for ticket holders
