SUMMARY:Russians…wonderful and unknown
LOCATION:Olympia City Music Theatre «Maria Callas»\, Athens
DESCRIPTION:In 20th-century music\, avant-garde was not merely an aesthetic
  choice\, but also a political stance toward the times. Three Russian comp
 osers\, each occupying a very different position within the Soviet musical
  landscape\, come together in a program that highlights the power—and\, 
 at times\, the cost—of a personal artistic voice.\n\nNikolai Andreevich 
 Roslavets\nSonata No. 1 for Viola and Piano\n\nGeorgy Vasilyevich Sviridov
 \nPoem for Voice and Piano based on a poem by Alexander Blok\n\nAndrei Mik
 hailovich Volkonsky\nSonata for Viola and Piano\n\nNikolai Roslavets\, one
  of the most radical figures of the early Russian avant-garde\, was margin
 alized beginning in the late 1920s: several of his manuscripts were lost o
 r destroyed\, and his music remained absent from concert halls for years. 
 In the First Sonata for Viola and Piano\, composed in 1926\, his fluid mel
 odic style and distinctive harmonic language create music that has been ap
 tly described as “emerging from an Impressionist chrysalis.”\n\nAndrei
  Volkonsky represents a different generation\; he was one of the first Sov
 iet composers to turn to twelve-tone music. From the opening slow viola so
 lo to the farewell song of the finale\, the Sonata for Viola and Piano\, w
 ritten in 1956\, reveals a young composer in search of a contemporary and 
 daring style.\n\nIn contrast\, Georgy Sviridov\, a student of Shostakovich
  and one of the most popular Soviet composers\, turns to the poetry of Ale
 xander Blok: images\, memory\, love\, and the sense of a turbulent era com
 e together in deeply expressive music.\n\nTicket price\nGeneral admission:
  10 €\n\nProgram\n\nGeorgi Vasilievich Sviridov\nA Russian song\, vocals
 \, piano.\n\nAndrei Mikhailovich Volkonsky\nSonata for Viola and Piano\, O
