The “castle city” of Achaia Klaus hosted on the evening of Friday July 5th, on behalf of the International Festival of Patras, one of the most important musical wanderings in Latin and Jazz streets.
The protagonists of this special evening were the Athens State Orchestra, the leading piano soloist Anastasios Pappas, one of the leading guitar soloists Dimitris Soukaras, the experienced conductor Nikos Haliasas and of course the Patras audience that filled the outdoor space of Achaia Klaus.
Music lovers watched a virtuoso program. A “journey” in the rich soundscapes of southern Mexico combined with the technical virtuosity of the Andalusian guitar.
They also enjoyed George Gershwin’s piano concerto, which in this particular concert was heard in an arrangement for jazz piano trio and orchestra in the first pan-Hellenic performance and moves from classical music to jazz, bebop, funk and blues.
The Concerto that was heard is one of the most important and beautiful concertos in the guitar repertoire. It is the most important guitar concerto to come from Latin America and stands out not only for its virtuoso demands but also for the excellent sound balance it achieves between the soloist and the orchestra.
The concert was attended by the Mayor of Patras, Kostas Peletidis, the deputy mayor for Culture, Apostolis Aggelis, who prefaced the event, deputy mayors, municipal and district councilors.
