The ERT Choir presents short pieces of music by great composers of the 19th, 20th and 21st centuries in a first pan-Hellenic performance as well as works that are heard very rarely with original orchestration formulas.

Anniversary references to J. Brahms and G. Ligeti (as 2023 is the year of Brahms and Ligeti) and works by G. Holst, A. Bax, K. Saariaho, F. Rzewsky, G. Bizet, A. Kettelbey, G. Faure, B. Britten, E. Elgar, L. Boulanger.

Compositions that, despite their short duration, reflect in depth the evolution of their creators and act as a kaleidoscope of the musical art of the specific period.
