The ERT TV & Radio Symphony Orchestra, conducted by Nikos Tsouchlos and with Costas Cotsiolis on guitar, will perform selected works by Giorgos Koumentakis, Antonio Vivaldi, Leo Brouwer and Robert Schumann at the Athens Concert Hall on Friday, March 22. The performance starts at 8.30 p.m. and tickets range from 4 to 10 euros.

The Athens Philharmonia Orchestra, conducted by Nikos Tsouchlos, pays tribute to American-born Greek composer George Tsontakis, who will travel from New York to the Greek capital for the show.

One of the most emblematic buildings in the Greek capital, the Athens Conservatory is the most representative example of the architectural oeuvre of Ioannis Despotopoulos, the only Greek to have studied under Bauhaus school founder Walter Gropius.

By Nikos Vatopoulos

The June 4 inauguration of the 37th Book Fair on the premises of the Athens Conservatory signaled two important facts: one, that the publishing sector is withstanding the effects of sluggish sales and looking for new ways to reach out to society and, second, that the building housing the event is seeking broader recognition and looking toward the future.
