The First Cycle, titled “The Age of Revolutions” and curated by the versatile and highly prolific artist Dimos Goudaroulis, is dedicated to Ludwig van Beethoven and his creative entourage. It will feature music from the late 18th and early 19th centuries, spanning Classicism to Early Romanticism, with masterworks of chamber music by Joseph Haydn, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Ludwig van Beethoven, and Franz Schubert, performed on period instruments by prominent Greek and European musicians.

■ First part: Songs in Shifting Times – Haydn, Mozart, Beethoven

Soprano Fanie Antonelou, accompanied by Gerasimos Hoidas on the fortepiano, will present a rich programme of songs by three leading composers who redefined the late 18th-century musical landscape, transporting us to the heart of a period marked by significant changes and aesthetic upheavals.

■ Second part: Beethoven – septet

Six exceptional Greek musicians, along with guest German clarinetist Sebastian Kürzl, will perform Beethoven’s famous Septet for winds and strings, Op. 20, on period instruments. The Septet, one of the most beloved and captivating works from Beethoven’s youthful period, debuted in Vienna in 1800, immediately achieved unprecedented success, and became highly popular, perhaps overshadowing other, subsequent chamber works of his for a time.
