Easter Concert of Love: Thomas Bakalakos
The historic Olympia City Music Theatre "Maria Callas" hosts an ambitious symphonic programme that seeks to bridge the philosophical gap between East and West through the lens of the Easter season. At the heart of this performance are three world premieres by Greek composer Thomas Bakalakos. These works explore the parallel lines of ancient Greek and Chinese thought, culminating in a symphonic oratorio based on St Paul’s ‘Hymn to Love’. It is a performance that leans into the reflective, spiritual atmosphere of the city’s festive calendar, executed on a grand scale by the City of Athens Symphony Orchestra and Choir.
Under the direction of Apostolos Palios, the evening features a group of acclaimed soloists and horn player Vangelis Vavylousakis. The programme is introduced by Alexandra Gialini, providing context to the complex spiritual themes explored in the new compositions. Tickets can be purchased online or at the theatre box office, which operates Tuesday to Friday from 11 am to 6 pm.
