FRANZ LISZT
Co-production:
Megaron – The Athens Concert Hall
Athens Philharmonia Orchestra
A new ensemble with an already strong presence in recording studios and concert venues, the Athens Philharmonia Orchestra returns to the Megaron under Byron Fidetzis, a committed Greek music scholar. The programme features three works representative of the symphonic genius of Liszt. Alongside these, an extraordinary example of a symphonic concerto of the Greek school – a work by a visionary composer who enriched Greek music with inspiration from Liszt and Wagner.
