Introduction
For the third time, the music bridge over Syngrou Avenue connects the Onassis Stegi and Panteion University with three concerts which daringly spotlight both unusual instrumental combinations and contemporary Greek compositions.
For the third consecutive year, the Onassis Stegi and Panteion University build “a music bridge over Syngrou Avenue” and share their interest in contemporary culture and the sounds of our era. Supported by the Onassis Stegi know-how and networking, the students studying “Culture and Cultural Management” in Panteion’s Department of Communication, Media and Culture have undertaken to promote the concert series in close collaboration with the musicians. The program has been co-curated by the two institutions.
The concerts in this year's season focus on unusual combinations of instruments and contemporary Greek composition. They feature: a double bass center stage in an international compositional panorama; a violin-cello-bayan trio which will transport us into uniquely Slavic territory, and four musicians “from the edge of the world" performing works for saxophone quartet by Greek composers from different generations. New works were written for the series by Kornelios Selamsis, with one eye fixed on Xenakis' emblematic “Theraps”, and by Thanasis Deligiannis.
The Greek premières of works by George Aperghis and Stratis Minakakis will be performed alongside repertoire works by Michalis Adamis and George Koumentakis. Finally, Nikos Stavropoulos' “Topophilia” provides the stimulus for a discussion on the dialogue between composers active today and the work of Iannis Xenakis.
