The Athens State Orchestra returns to the Benaki Museum with this year’s chamber music cycle “Musical walks through Museums”, as continuation of their long time cooperation.

Four concerts of the musical ensembles of the A.S.O. will take place at the four buildings of the Benaki Museum, buildings which host different collections and events.

20:30 Cellibitum

After many years working together within the Orchestra, the Athens State Orchestra’s cellists have decided to express themselves collectively around their favourite instrument. The works in the concert (Villa-Lobos, Samuel Barber, Prokofiev, Julius Klengel at al.), some of them written for cello ensemble and others transcriptions, spur them on to explore the limitless potential of the cello and to treat the audience to an evening dedicated to the unique timbre of the cello ten times over!
