2023 02 03 80 years of the Athens State Orchestra – Vadim Repin in Tchaikovsky’s Violin Concerto
Fri. 03 February 2023 20:30
Megaron – The Athens Concert Hall
Christos Lambrakis Hall
The official concert in celebration of the Athens State Orchestra’s 80th birthday could only be a glorious and gloriously musical event. The soprano Cellia Costea performs the lyrical Vocalise by the eminent Greek composer Nestor Taylor, while our artistic director Loukas Karytinos conducts a new reading of Mahler's "titanic" (and not in name alone!) First Symphony, one of the most popular and deeply moving symphonies of late Romanticism. At the heart of the programme, the legendary violin virtuoso Vadim Repin turns his sparkling virtuosity to a performance of a veritable heavy-weight of the violin repertoire.
