Chamber Music Festival 2018 : “Light and Darkness” – Platanias 24th August

The 7th Chamber Music Festival bids farewell to the summer and welcomes fall. This year’s festival is a musical journey through Light and Darkness. This theme is expanded in four concerts (24th, 27th, 29th August and 1st September)
For the complete programme click here.

The first concert of the Chamber Music Festival  with two very antithetical works explores the theme of Light and Darkness: Schönberg’s strictly programmatic  Verklärte Nacht versus Mendelssohn’s romantic freedom of dance and joy.
The contrast between these two works is further amplified by the fact that both are written for a sextet, a string sextet in the case of Verklärte Nacht and a piano sextet in the case of Mendelssohn’s op 110. Rich tone colours portray two opposite qualities; opposite emotionally, structurally, and linguistically.
