The Greek Youth Symphony Orchestra returns this year to the historical Konzerthaus in Berlin as part of the Young Euro Classic, an international music festival that annually invites the most important youth orchestras from all over the world.

Under the direction of its Founder & Artistic Director, Dionysis Grammenos, the concert on 11 August 2023 will also be the opening concert for the festival’s main section on European ensembles.

Following the orchestra’s remarkable performance at the Konzerthaus in 2021, which received rave reviews from the international press, the Greek musicians return to Berlin performing three important works of the symphonic repertoire: Johannes Brahms’ First Symphony in C minor, Franz Liszt’s symphonic poem “Prometheus”, and Launy Grøndahl’s Concerto for Trombone and Orchestra, with the internationally renowned trombonist Achilles Liarmakopoulos as guest soloist.
