+AESTHESES (Plus Senses)
The complete understanding of situations and emotions is the result of the harmonious (or not!) cooperation of all our senses, since none of the five can ever function independently.
The +AESTHESES (Plus Senses) cycle proposes events where music, naturally representing the sense of hearing, cooperates with forms of expression of art, which represent the other four senses (touch, smell, taste, sight). Thus, through play, we can perhaps discover how our understanding as members of the audience changes depending on factors which stimulate a different sense each time.
Rossini… at the dining table: a rather different experience!
A chef, a beer sommelier and a pianist take us on an intriguing journey, whereby every note corresponds to a taste. An offbeat musical and gastronomic experience inspired by one of the last works of Rossini which had as its theme eight delicacies.
– Gioachino Rossini: “Quatre hors d’œuvres et quatre mendiants” for solo piano
Christos Sakellaridis, Beata Pincetic piano
Chef: Yiannis Stanitsas
Sommelier: Paul Emmanuilidis
