Musical Promenades: The String Theory

Mon. 05 May 2025 18:00

NATIONAL GALLERY ALEXANDROS SOUTSOS MUSEUM

The Athens Classical Players, the string ensemble of the Athens State Orchestra, pulls out all the stops in a truly impressive programme that showcases the rich, warm timbre of the strings in all their glory via the refined elegance of Haydn, the unpretentious sensuality of Janáček, and the irrepressible lyricism of Wolf and Greig.

At 16:30, one and a half hour prior to the concert, a free guided tour will be offered with a ticket of 5€ to auditors. Reservation to the guided tour is mandatory.
