Megaron – The Athens Concert Hall
Christos Lambrakis Hall
While the English may not, generally speaking, be celebrated for their music, Edward Elgar is clearly an exception: his cello concerto in particular, whose solo part is played here by Yannis Tsitselikis, is one of the most emotionally charged concerti in the repertoire. The German conductor Daniel Huppert, General Music Diretor at Staatstheaters Schwerin, also leads the A.S.O. in a performance of Mendelssohn's celebrated Italian Symphony, a work which received its première in London, the city in which our own highly imaginative Kostis Kritsotakis would study some 170 years later.
