For years, German violist Nils Mönkemeyer has played a leading role in expanding the repertoire of his instrument, both by bringing forgotten works of the past back to light and by championing new music. In this concert, he continues that commitment with the world premiere of a new work by Konstantia Gourzi.

One of the most active and versatile conductors working in Germany and internationally, Yorgos Ziavras brings the analytical clarity and interpretative depth that define his work to Tchaikovsky’s enduring Fourth Symphony, leading the Athens State Orchestra in a performance of intensity, precision and dramatic force.
