Niccolo Paganini

In his charming ground-floor workshop in the Athenian neighborhood of Galatsi, the violin Dimitris Kakos holds in his capable hands is more than an instrument; it is a thread stretching back three centuries to Cremona in northern Italy.

Iakovos Kolanian, Michalis Kontaxakis and Dimitris Kotronakis will perform works by Luigi Boccherini, Niccolo Paganini, Astor Piazzolla, Sergio Assad, Maximo Diego Pujol and Ion Ivanovic at the Philippos Nakas Conservatory in Athens on Friday, December 9. The recital is set to start at 8.30 p.m. and admission costs 10 euros (5 euros reduced).
