Megaron – The Athens Concert Hall
Christos Lambrakis Hall
The Athens State Orchestra's sensational collaborations last season with the legendary Russian pianist, Mikhail Pletnev, and the great French conductor, Philippe Auguin, were truly unforgettable. Needless to say, our musicians and audiences alike are overjoyed and honoured that both will be returning to Athens this season – especially since they will be performing classical masterpieces created in Vienna by three of the greatest composers of all time! The concert programme begins with the subtlety and drama of the mature Mozart, then move on to Haydn's joyful and always surprising writing, before proceeding down paths of rare breadth, grandeur and lyricism in Schubert's "Great" Symphony!
