Musical promenades at the Museums – Connections
Mon. 06 April 2020 20:30
The Benaki Museum - Museum of Greek Culture (Koubari str.)
Great art can address the 'hardest’, 'deepest’ things in a very simple way... One of the sacred minimalist’s most emblematic works, Arvo Pärt's Fratres provides an ideal preface to two momentous 20th-century quartets. Shostakovich and Schnittke exploited the full capabilities of the string quartet, the finest chamber music ensemble, creating an atmospheric music which, veering between pitch darkness and the blindingly bright, always retains an authentic spirituality.
At 19:30, one hour prior to the concert, a free guided tour will be offered to auditors by Irini Papageorgiou, Curator of the Pre-Historic, Ancient Greek and Roman collections of the Museum.
