2023 05 08 Tradition in Music

Mon. 08 May 2023 20:30

Parnassos Literary Society
Concert Hall

Used by composers to express the musical traditions of their homelands, classical music has served as a bridge between cultures down the centuries. From different cultures themselves, the four musicians performing in tonight’s concert welcome important composers who, inspired by particular musical idioms, take us on a journey on which roots, myths, customs and traditions come together to form a mental path to mutual understanding and respect.
