The event season Great Orchestras-Great Maestros begins this year with the legendary pianist and conductor Daniel Barenboim and the Staatskapelle Berlin, one of the best orchestras in the world, that will present in parallel the four Symphonies by Robert Schumann and the equal number of Symphonies by Johannes Brahms over four nights at the Athens Concert Hall.
