2024 11 11 Musical Promenades: Czech celebration

Mon. 11 November 2024 19:00

NATIONAL LIBRARY OF GREECE
Book Castle, Stavros Niarchos Foundation Cultural Center

The Aenaon String Quartet commemorates the 200th anniversary of the birth of the great Czech Romantic composer, Bedřich Smetana, with a performance of his Quartet in D minor. The Quintet is performed alongside two other gems of Czech –and, more generally, Central European chamber music– to provide additional perspective on this important work.

Prior to the concert, at 18:00 and 18:30, guided tours will be offered to a limited number of auditors. Entrance is free for the concert and for the guide tours. Due to limited number of auditors, a priority order will be respected. Auditors who are interested to follow the guided tours are kindly requested to be at the venue at least ten minutes before the beginning of the guided tours, at 17:50 and at 18:20 respectively.
