The divertimento began as music for diversion — written for evenings, not concert halls. Fragments of Light traces the form across three composers: Cappella Atenea, conducted by Giorgos Tzatziaphis, sets Mozart beside Bartók and the Greek composer Margeti at Parnassos.
The through-line is the form's own evolution — how an eighteenth-century entertainment bends through a twentieth-century modernist and into a living composer's hands. Cappella Atenea is an ensemble of young players active internationally.
Expect a seated evening of chamber repertoire in central Athens, near Plateia Agiou Georgiou Karytsi. Tickets run €8–15 through more.com presale, in a hall small enough that the inner detail of the playing carries.
