TICKETS + INFORMATION

Music from the 1930s in an idiom you can only call post-Neo-Classical. You need only list the composers to show how great this should be: Hartmann, Chávez, Still, and Lutosławski (whom you definitely think of as post-’30s — but they’re playing a very early work). Of particular note, now that many people complain about how political so much classical music is these days, is how political so much of it was in the 1930s.

MAKE A NIGHT OF IT: Very good basic Greek at Souvlaki GR.
