Hopes and memories

Concert in memoriam of Charalambos Farandatos

Fri. 16 March 2018 20:30

Megaron – The Athens Concert Hall
Christos Lambrakis Hall

After the recent loss of a historic member of the Athens State Orchestra and brilliant Greek musician and pedagogue, Charalambos Farandatos, this concert pays a minimum tribute to his memory. One of his most known disciples, Spyros Mourikis, performs Mozart’s grandiose concerto, while the great pianist and maestro Vladimir Askenazy conducts the dark Tenth Symphony of the eminent Soviet symphonist, a shattering “chronic” of Stalinism and at the same time a personal, de profundis lamentation for hopes that were confuted.
