Music – Poetry II

The relationship between poetry and music has always been a close one, and vital for both art forms. Music's limitless emotional depth gives poetry a goal to aim for, while poetry's clarity of meaning is something music has always sought to emulate. Great poems make great music, and the concert to be conducted by the multifaceted Levi Hammer brings together two works born of such fortunate comings-together. The programme also includes the Concerto for two pianos by the Czech composer Bohuslav Martinů, a work as little known as it is scintillating, performed by the distinguished soloists Panagiotis Trochopoulos and Apostolos Palios.
