Another little-known symphonic masterpiece wrought by the musical genius of Nikos Skalkottas, another priceless musical gem of Greek music put back in the spotlight. The Athens State Orchestra is delighted and honoured to welcome our beloved, internationally acknowledged Greek pianist Dimitris Toufexis, interpreting the Rachmaninoff's Piano Concerto no. 2, one of the most popular pieces of all times.
