When the cellist Narek Hakhnazaryan took the first prize and gold medal at the 14th Tchaikovsky Competition at the tender age of 22, it opened the doors wide for an international career as a soloist. Since then, the Armenian musician has truly excelled in collaborations with the world’s greatest orchestras and musicians. The Athens State Orchestra is delighted to welcome him to Athens, and to accompany him in the most popular concerto for his instrument, the cello concerto by the Czech composer, Antonín Dvořák. The acclaimed conductor Miltos Logiadis marshals his long experience and profound knowledge to inform his interpretation of Mozart’s celebrated 40th Symphony, a work that never gets old and remains a perfect model of classical balance and proportion, no matter how many times we hear it.
