SUMMARY:Synaesthesia: When Sound Meets Colour
DESCRIPTION:The concept of “Synaesthesia” takes shape through a unique concert that dissolves the boundaries between the arts. Set in a space surrounded by paintings\, sound and colour become one\, offering visitors a rare\, hour-long multi-sensory experience.\n\nThe distinct combination of the bassoon and the harp creates a tonal spectrum full of contrasts: from the deep\, expressive voice of the bassoon to the ethereal and transparent texture of the harp. The audience will have the chance to enjoy works by great composers such as Vivaldi\, Mendelssohn\, Saint-Saëns\, Piazzolla\, and Marcussen\, in a musical dialogue that transforms the acoustic experience into a visual reality.\n\nThis artistic “ritual” is guided by two distinguished soloists: Vasilis Priovolos is a doctor of musical performance and a leading bassoonist with an extensive academic and orchestral career (ERT\, Philharmonia\, University of Athens). Lilia Esipova is an award-winning harpist originally from Moscow\, with years in the most important orchestras in Greece and abroad (ERT National Symphony Orchestra\, Camerata).\n\nReservations open one week before the event at 12:00 pm.

SUMMARY:Melachrinos Velentzas: Rebirth
DESCRIPTION:An abandoned piano\, long-silent in a dusty Athenian corner\, finds its voice once more. Pianist and performer Melachrinos Velentzas presents Rebirth\, blending performance\, installation\, and collective ritual in some of the city’s most emblematic spaces.\n\nThrough a musical ceremony\, Velentzas resuscitates an instrument that has endured years of stillness. It is a powerful parallel between the decay of a forgotten object and the quiet frustration of a person who has lost their connection to “play.” But this isn’t just a performance to watch\, it’s an invitation to participate. As the notes echo through the air\, you are invited to join a collective act of storytelling\, leaving your own personal histories on the stools of other “forgotten” pianos from across Athens.\n\nPart of the artist’s long-term research into the materiality of instruments and the memories held within the city’s homes\, Rebirth transforms individual loss into a shared\, redemptive experience. Come and witness the city’s silent history find its rhythm again.

SUMMARY:Music & Film
DESCRIPTION:Experience the magic of silent film paired with live music in the grand interior courtyard of the Arsakeio Mansion\, an architectural “jewel” in the heart of Athens. The spotlight of the evening falls on “Sunrise: A Song of Two Humans” (1927)\, directed by the legendary F.W. Murnau.\n\nOften cited as one of the greatest films in cinematic history\, Sunrise tells the haunting story of a farmer lured by a mysterious woman into a dark plot against his own wife. What follows is a painfully lyrical journey of reconciliation set against a bustling urban backdrop\, an eternal struggle between the shadows and the light of the human soul.\n\nBringing the images to life is the distinguished soloist Manos Kitsikopoulos. His live piano improvisations do more than just accompany the film; they “translate” every frame into raw emotion\, creating an immersive experience beneath the mansion’s iconic glass roof.
