GREETINGS

Dimitrios I. Kostouros

Major of Nafplion

Welcome to the 32nd Nafplion Music Festival.

We hope you enjoy all eight exquisite concerts along with the internationally renowned artists participating, as well as the parallel events included in the program.

I am sure that the musicians who participate in this year’s festival will introduce us, with their unsurpassed skill, to the charm of a world that only artists of their own range can create.

All this was made possible thanks to the close cooperation of all those involved in this big event, who have worked tirelessly and creatively over the years, constantly seeking new musical veins to maintain the vitality of our Festival.

Enjoy it!

Janis Vakarelis

Artistic Director

Dear friends,
I welcome you to the 32nd Nafplion Festival, which is mostly dedicated to young people.
Two of the most important Youth Orchestras of Greece (12 to 19 years old), the Youth Underground Orchestra and the Camerata Junior – Orchestra of Megaron-the Athens Concert Hall, will perform at the Festival, the former opening it on 8 July and the latter bidding it farewell on 16 July.
Two exceptional “child prodigies” of the piano, fourteen-year-old Filippos Klapsinakis and eleven-year-old Theodoros Filippopoulos will captivate us in their concert on 12 July.
Alexia Mouza, who first appeared as a 10-year-old child in the early years of the Nafplion Festival, is now back, an established pianist, for a unique “musical conversation” with the distinguished journalist Pavlos Tsimas on 9 July.

Artists and personalities such as the well-known historian Maria Efthymiou, the famous and much-loved Jean-Louis Steuerman, the conductors Nikos Haliassas, Kostas Eliades, the great musicians Spyros Mourikis, Ilias Livieratos, Stavros Lantsias and many others will give us unforgettable moments of emotion and joy at the 32nd Nafplion Festival.
I wish you a beautiful musical journey.
