A tribute to Maurice Emmanuel
Mon. 19 November 2012 20:30
Megaron – The Athens Concert Hall
Dimitris Mitropoulos Hall
This concert is a tribute to the exceptional maitre of French music, Maurice Emmanuel, one of the early 20th century’s most important students of ancient Greek music. Hand-picked Greek artists perform his refined music for the Amphitryon in a dialogue with Petros Petridis’ masterful Concerto grosso and the forgotten but marvellous melodies of Louis-Albert Bourgault-Ducoudray.
