Αφιέρωμα στον Οδυσσέα Δημητριάδη

Tribute to Odysseas Dimitriadis is a concert by the Athens State Orchestra at the Athens Conservatoire in Kolonaki, Athens, on 06 March 2026. The Bauhaus-school amphitheatre holds the silence before a hundred musicians breathe in together.

Christos Ilias Kolovotos, who studied under Dimitriadis, conducts a program spanning Greek and Russian repertoire. Dimitriadis led the Bolshoi Theatre from 1965 to 1973, conducted the 1980 Moscow Olympics opening, and championed Greek composers internationally across a seventy-year career. Twenty-one years since his death at ninety-seven.

The Conservatoire is a five-minute walk from Evangelismos metro. Tickets EUR 8 to EUR 25 via ticketservices.gr. A conductor's legacy played by the orchestra he shaped.
