The Cultural Association ex-Artis Presents FAIRY TALES & FOLK TUNES Piano Concert

The Cultural Association ex-Artis presents the Classical Music Concert "Fairy Tales & Folk Tunes" with the pianists Ivelina Ruseva, Marianna Georgiou and Maria Avraam.

The programme features rarely heard piano works which draw elements and inspiration from legents, myths, tales and oral music traditions: from Béla Bartók to Georges Enescu, from Khachaturian to Theodorakis, from Chopin to Grieg, the classical piano repertoire becomes enriched with the fine colours of tradition, from the North to the South.
