Maxim Vengerov with the Athens State Orchestra

Maxim Vengerov is one of the greatest violinists of the last few decades and a highly cultured and sensitive artist, whose every performance is a must-see event. In this, his first collaboration with the Athens State Orchestra, Vengerov will perform one of the greatest and most demanding concertos for violin ever, Concerto for violin and orchestra in D major, op. 77 by the great German Romantic composer Johannes Brahms. The distinguished soloist has already left his mark on this concerto, highlighting this majestic piece in various performances across the globe. The performance will also include the famous Symphony “From the New World” by the major Czech composer Antonín Dvořák, conceived during his stay in New York City (1892-93). The Symphony has become one of the most popular compositions of all time, with its masterful structure, its fully realized orchestration and its diverse musical influences encompassing Native American music and the Spiritual music of the African Americans. The Orchestra will be conducted by its Artistic Director, Stefanos Tsialis.

Meet the Orchestra! 19-04-2019

Joyful and melancholic melodies, fast and slow pace, strong and soft sounds, small and big instruments, familiar and exotic rythms, words and notes, humor but also seriousness: this is the magic formula of the creation of Benjamin Britten’s ‘The young person’s guide to the Orchestra’ and Gregory Smith’s ‘Mr. Smith’s composition’, two pieces for the initiation of children and young audience in the world of music. Between them, a journey in the mystic sounds of the Organ, but also to its interior, through a movie projection.

As guides in the immense map of the symphonic music, the members of the Athens State Orchestra under Miltos Logiadis’s baton, Artistic Director of the Megaron, and the distinguished baritone Tasis Christogiannis in the role of the narrator. Urania Gasiou, organist of the Megaron, will interpret Johann Sebastian Bach’s ‘Toccata and Fuga’, while the texts of the event are signed by Sofia Topouzi, head of Educational Programmes of the Megaron – the Athens Concert Hall.

Writing and translation of texts: Sofia Topouzi
