Classic Without Frontiers

The artistic project Duo Aura consists of two internationally established soloists: cellist Agapi Triantafyllidi from Greece and pianist Nil Kocamangil from Turkey. The duo will give a spellbinding concert featuring works by Schumann, Rachmaninoff, Shostakovich, Grieg, Xydakis and Hasan Uçarsu. The two young performers are acclaimed all over Europe and have been widely praised by critics across the globe. In 2016, they gave a single concert at the ancient Odeon of Nicopolis, followed by an appearance at the Bodrum Festival in August 2017 and appearances at festivals in Germany and Netherlands. Their collaboration is a testament to the fact that music knows no borders and can bring nations together.
