This second year of the Music TONes festival chooses to present a series of concerts – performances, which have to do with the idea of special essays. In this direction, there are concerts that pay tribute to unique musical “signatures”, like the ones of the poetic Manolis Kalomiris, the symbolist Dmitri Shostakovich and the expressionist Ottorino Respighi. Likewise Josef Valette presents his pianistic output in a dramatized concert with six pianists. In the opening concert Katia Paschou sings different pages of an imaginary diary of a soprano, while George Crumb writes for a flute, a cello and a piano in the language of the sea: his masterpiece Vox Balaenae transforms the sounds of the three instruments into visions from the journey of a whale; he is joined by performers, actors, choreographers and directors in the basement of Beton 7, who explore together a deep ocean of music.
