Megaron – The Athens Concert Hall
Christos Lambrakis Hall
In a high-octane concert, the internationally-celebrated Chinese violinist Tianwa Yang takes on Britten’s Concerto, an epic work in every respect, while the conductor Stefanos Tsialis faces up to Beethoven’s magnificent Seventh Symphony, which Wagner famously described as the ‘apotheosis of the dance’. The evening will also give us the chance to enjoy a fine symphonic work by the great Romantic composer, Robert Schumann.
