2022 04 20 Easter Concert
Co-production with Megaron – the Athens Concert Hall Organization
Wed. 20 April 2022 20:30
Megaron – The Athens Concert Hall
Christos Lambrakis Hall
In the spirit of Holy Week and the Passion, this year's Easter concert touches on the concept of the tragic in Music. Under the baton of the accomplished maestro Myron Michailidis, outstanding singers infuse their performances of celebrated works by Brahms, Wagner and Mozart with knowledge and inspiration, revealing the anguished gestures, impassioned melodies, dark progressions and explosive confrontations that run through them. Needless to say, the concert is spearheaded by Mozart's Requiem, the swan song of a life which, though short, bequeathed mankind a priceless legacy.
19:30, free introductory speech by Titos Gouvelis for ticket holders
