Poetry and music have always been connected by a relationship that is as intimate as it is vital, for both art forms. Poetry seeks the infinite emotional depth of music, and music seeks the clarity of poetry’s meaning and discourse. Great poems become great music and in this evening’s concert, conducted by the versatile maestro Levi Hammer, we will be presented with instances of this happy coexistence of the two arts. The programme is complemented with the less well-known but explosive concerto for two pianos by the Czech composer Bohuslav Martinů, performed by the distinguished soloists Panagiotis Trochopoulos and Apostolos Palios.
