Cycle Transformations - Winter Journey

The second concert of this cycle presents classical or new works, exploring new listening experiences.
Titled “Winter Journey”, it features Franz Schubert’s song cycle “Winterreise” (D 911, opus 89, 1828) for voice and piano, on poems by the German romantic poet Wilhelm Müller.

The songs will be sung in Greek. An idea of Dionysis Kapsalis, who has also translated and adjusted the poems into Greek, it aims to facilitate Greek audiences in experiencing the work, as it unfolds, making it their own.

The completed Cycle “Transformations” includes two more concerts:
