Ever incisive, subversive, and surprising, the Tectonics Festival is back to Athens for a fourth year.
With new music at its core – everything from classical orchestral music to improvised solo performances, taking in electronic music, new instruments, music installations, and much more along the way – Tectonics is returning to Athens. Onassis Stegi is partnering with the Athens Conservatoire to present yet another packed and audacious program of live music events.
Touching on everything from symphonic music to noise, and from free improvisation to contemporary composition, Tectonics uncovers new affinities between differing music styles. Acclaimed conductor Ilan Volkov, who launched the event with the Iceland Symphony Orchestra, joins forces with Michalis Moschoutis and Anne Hilde Neset to create yet another unforgettable festival for the Athens music scene.
