Two classical masterpieces –Beethoven’s Leonore Overture No. 3 and Mozart’s magnificent Jupiter Symphony, his forty-first and last-bookend Giovanni Bottesini’s Concerto for Double Bass, in which Angelos Repapis, our Orchestra’s lead double bassist, plays the solo part. The concert will be conducted by Vassilis Christopoulos.
