The War of the Romantics
08.08 — 09.08.2024
21:30
Description
The artistic conflict among Romantic composers, with its significant social implications, is brought to the foreground through a unique piano recital by George-Emmanuel Lazaridis accompanied by a live performance featuring original movement by two dancers onstage: Theano Xydia and Natalia Bika.
The performance The War of the Romantics will take the audience on a journey across the mid-19th century, focusing on the clash between the aesthetics of Johannes Brahms and Franz Liszt.
In this context, the programme will include two iconic pieces from the piano repertoire: Brahms’ Four Ballades and Liszt’s Sonata in B minor – two compositions that reflect two entirely different and possibly conflicting musical styles that were pivotal in shaping the future of music. The Bazeos tower, a 17th-century historical monument at the center of Naxos, will serve as the backdrop for a dialogue between music and body that will lead to their harmonious union.
