In this spirit, the season's opening concert includes a new work by the distinguished composer Dimitris Minakakis, along with two much-loved romantic works, by Bruch and Tchaikovsky, respectively. The soloist is the internationally renowned British violinist Daniel Hope, while the orchestra is conducted by its artistic director, Loukas Karytinos.
