Athens State Orchestra – Byron Fidetzis
Works by Mendelssohn-Bartholdy
The Athens State Orchestra is celebrating the second centennial of the birth of Felix Mendelssohn (1809-1847) with a major tribute to the composer who wrote symphonies, concertos, works for piano solo, chamber music and large-scale ecclesiastical pieces with the same facility. Having distinguished himself as a performer and composer at an early age—indeed, many call him the Mozart of the 19th century—he went on to spearhead the revival of Bach's music and to found an unconventional conservatory in his home town, Leipzig, which continues to produce exceptional musicians to this day.
