A concert celebrating some of the greatest sounds to come out of Greece will be performed this Friday as part of the 30th Greek Festival of Sydney.
Presented by internationally acclaimed duo Spiros Rantos (violin) and Brachi Tilles (piano), with special guest artist Maria Yiakouli (soprano), Romano Crivici (violin), Robert Harris (viola), Trish McMeekin (cello) and Dorit Herskovits (double bass)
As well as the popular music we all love, Greece has produced a distinguished National School in the western classical tradition, as well as modernist composers who develop Greek musical ideas in new ways. The concert includes works by Skalkotas, Konstantinidis, Sfetsas, Hatzidakis and Theodorakis, ranging from settings of folksongs to experiments with sounds from jazz and rock.
From Zorba to jazz will take place at Paddington United Church, NSW on Friday 20 April, at 8:00 pm. Entry is $30, for more information call (02) 9750 0440.
