Musical promenades at the Museums IV – Woodwinds in the 20th century

Mon. 05 February 2018 20:30

The Benaki Museum - Museum of Islamic Art

As true as it is that the strings had the “lion’s share” in the chamber music of the 18th and 19th century, it is equally true that during the 20th century winds came dynamically to the foreground, since many significant composers deployed them in masterpieces of chamber music. Some of them, rarely performed in our country, will be interpreted by eminent musicians of the Athens State Orchestra’s woodwinds family.

At 19:30 a free guided tour to the Museum will be offered.
