A special surprise is in store for us at this year’s big spring concert of Camerata Junior, which will be joined by the musician and researcher Nikos Xanthoulis in his new concerto for seven-stringed ancient Greek lyre. At the prompting of its conductor Nikos Haliassas, Nikos Xanthoulis writes and presents his second concerto for lyre and symphony orchestra incorporating new techniques. The sound of the seven-stringed lyre, unknown yet so familiar, brings back memories of a collective unconscious, as it participates in the universal harmony that the great philosophers, led by Pythagoras, struggled to listen to. The youth section of the Orchestra will also take on two major works of the symphonic repertoire, Beethoven’s “Egmont” overture and Schubert’s “Unfinished” symphony.
