The tetART-on String Quartet of the State Orchestra of Athens presents the First String Quartet of the great composer Rachmaninoff at the Acropolis Museum on Friday, March 31, at 7 p.m.

This is a creation that he completed at the end of his adolescence, with obvious references to Tchaikovsky. The program opens with Joseph Haydn's Second String Quartet, also known as "Thursdays". A work based entirely on the interval of the 5th, an interval that has been associated with purity, rigor and sometimes perfection. Finally, the Dodecanese Suite by Yiannis Konstantinidis uses themes based on Dodecanese dances, lending universality to the Greek tradition through its composer's virtuoso writing.

Program:
Joseph Haydn (1732 – 1809): String Quartet in D minor no. 2, play 76, "Thursdays"
Sergei Rachmaninoff (1873–1943): String Quartet no. 1
