KALAMATA Dance Megaron

Leonidas Kavakos is a musician who needs no introduction. Having established himself as one of the world’s top violinist, he has for several years been extending his activities into conducting—a move which has met with considerable success. In this, his first concert on the podium of the Athens State Orchestra, he will be conducting exceptional symphonies by Schumann and Mozart respectively along with the latter’s Fifth Violin Concerto. May this concert mark the start of a long and fruitful collaboration.
