Theocharakis Foundation

Greek pianist Dimitris Mimidis will perform the whole cycle of Frederic Chopin's Nocturnes at the B&M Theocharakis Foundation for the Fine Arts and Music on Thursday, February 6. The Nocturnes series, written between 1827 and 1846, is one of Chopin's most important creations and one of the most representative works of the Romantic era. It comprises 21 short music pieces.

"Alekos Fassianos, Vangelis Chronis - 30 Years of Friendship, Paintings and Poetry," on show at the Theocharakis Foundation, presents the artist and the poet's constructive collaboration and shared love for ancient Greek art, demonstrating how they have drawn inspiration from each other's work for the past three decades.

Forty years after her death, the personal life of opera great Maria Callas still has a rapt audience. 

An exhibition in Athens, called "Maria Callas - The Myth Lives On," is displaying 200 personal items belonging to the star, including some never put on display before, offering a rare glimpse into her personal life until her death in 1977.

According to the French Romantic artist Eugene Delacroix, the first virtue of a painting is that it be a feast for the eyes. This quality features prominently in the work of Greek artist Panayiotis Tetsis.
