Beethoven & Schubert: String Quintets

As part of the Early Music Days festival, the Greek National Opera's Alternative Stage presents a program dedicated to the string quintets of Ludwig van Beethoven and Franz Schubert. This performance belongs to the thematic cycle "The Age of Revolutions," which explores works from the late 18th and early 19th centuries performed on period instruments. The cycle focuses on the transition from Classicism to Early Romanticism through the lens of chamber music masterworks. The broader festival, curated by Dimos Goudaroulis and Markellos Chryssicos, bridges historical repertoire with contemporary interpretations, featuring everything from period instrument performances to jazz-inspired Bach variations and new commissions by Greek composers.
