DISCOVER THE SYMPHONY – Neighbourhood Concerts
Athienou: Friday 27 April 2018
Events Hall of Athienou Gymnasium, 20:00
In collaboration with Athienou Municipality
We welcome you to discover the Symphony, one of the most significant orchestral musical genres of classical music. Through samples of popular symphonies by the greatest composers of the genre, we will make a journey of 130 years: from the classical composers Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and Joseph Haydn (end of 18ου c.) to the «romantics» Ludwig van Beethoven and Franz Schubert up to the Russian Sergei Prokofiev (beginning of 20th c.). We will begin by showcasing the «standard classical» movements (fast, slow, minuet, finale) which form a Symphony both as a structural form as well as stylistically. Then, we will take it one step further by showing how such movements form a unified work such as Prokofiev’s «Classical».
