Some marvelling musical tunes will “accompany” visitors of the Acropolis Museum this Friday the 12th of September. In collaboration with the Embassy of Belgium and within the context of this year’s concerts cycle of the cultural program “Things from Belgium”, the Trio Solista will give a unique performance dedicated to the famous works of George Handel, Alessandro Parisotti, Francis Poulenc, Albert Doppler, Percy Grainger, George Gershwin and Astor Piazzolla.
The Trio Solista are, flutist Beatriz Macias, a charismatic performer celebrated for the beauty of her playing and for her ability to communicate directly with the audience, Roeland Henkens whose dexterity in both the modern and baroque trumpet has given him a notable reputation, and award-winning pianist Yannick Van de Velde who made his first television broadcast on the national Belgian television at the mere age of 12.
Like every Friday, the Museum exhibition areas will remain open until 10 p.m. and the restaurant until midnight, offering a special menu based on classical and traditional recipes, with particular emphasis on local products from regional Greece.
