Overview

Exactly one year ago, the death of the eminent conductor Karolos Trikolidis, who had graced the podiums of major Greek and foreign orchestras for decades, left our musical world poorer for his loss. The Athens State Orchestra honours his memory with a performance of the magnificent First Symphony by Bruckner, a composer whose symphonic works the late maestro served had studied in detail and performed to wide acclaim. Violinist Iason Keramidis performs for the first time the long-awaited violin concerto by the creative composer Dimitris Papadimitriou, under the baton of internationally acclaimed maestro Giorgos Petrou.
