Concert at Salamina
Sat. 22 June 2013 21:00
The Euripides Theater of Salamina
What does the celebratory overture to the celebrated operetta Candide by the great conductor and composer Leonard Bernstein have in common with Gershwin’s Rhapsody in Blue for piano and orchestra, Darius Milhaut’s Ox on the Roof (based on traditional Brazilian melodies), Christos Papageorgiou’s Pyrrichios, and the four dances from the ballet Estancia by the Argentinean composer, Albert Ginastera? What else, if not their irresistible rhythmic energy and alluring melodies! Joined by Bas Wiegers on the podium and Apostolos Palios at the piano, the Athens State Orchestra performs a technically-demanding programme which packs an emotional punch.
