Saturday is your last chance to catch the streamed version of violinist Leonidas Kavakos' stunning solo performance at the Ancient Theater of Epidaurus last July.

In what was one of the undisputed highlights of last year's albeit limited cultural calendar, the acclaimed Greek violinist paid tribute to Johann Sebastian Bach.

International Olympic Committee President Thomas Bach is set to remain in office until 2025 as he will run unopposed next year for a second term, the IOC said on Tuesday.

Bach succeeded outgoing president Jacques Rogge in 2013 after prevailing over five other candidates in an election in Buenos Aires.

The International Olympic Committee said Thomas Bach will have no opponents for his reelection as president in a vote scheduled in March.

More than 100 IOC members were told Bach is the only candidate for the presidential poll at their meeting due to be staged in Athens.
