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.

Christophe Coin, one of the most important violoncellists and gambists of our time, joins forces with the French-Swiss violist Miguel da Silva, founder of the famous Ysaÿe quartet, and the Greek violoncellist Dimos Goudaroulis. The three musicians present an exceptionally rare chamber music repertoire of unique sophistication and virtuosity. The programme includes two of the 126 trios for baryton, viola, and violoncello composed by Joseph Haydn from 1765 to 1775 for the music enthusiast Prince Nikolaus Esterházy and his favourite instrument. The programme is completed by duets and trios by Antonín Kraft, Jean-Louis Duport, and Bernhard Romberg.
