“Music has existed throughout history as a communicator not only of joy, but of all emotions that accompany human pain, sadness, longing, fear, despair, loss. Music is the last refuge of the human soul when all is lost.” With this in mind, the State Orchestra of Thessaloniki does not cancel today’s concert (Megaro Musikis, 21.00), but participates in a three-day national mourning, dedicating the “Spring Symphony” concert to the victims of the deadly accident in Tempi. However, she modifies her program: Galanda’s Dances are replaced by Samuel Barber’s Adagio for Strings, while Robert Schumann’s symphony remains and is dedicated to the unjustly lost young people who “dreamed of spring before they had time to experience it.” , as well as his composer,” said the rector of the Greek Orthodox Church, Simos Papanas.

“The musical flowers of the Schumann symphony will be the flowers that KOTH will lay in their honor.” The concert, conducted by Cornelios Michaelidis with Lola Totsiou on piano, will take place without intermission and without applause, leaving the music to ring in silence. Proceeds will be used to support the hospital’s AHEPA blood collection center.
