Greek and Russian music will be blended at the Herod Atticus Theater tonight and tomorrow in a concert, part of Athens Festival, with Greek composer Stavros Xarchakos and the Ossipov National Academic Folk Instruments Orchestra of Russia.
The Ossipov orchestra has become one of the most important and popular orchestras of its kind worldwide, and only recently has strated mixing with other composers and orchestras. Many popular Russian folklore instruments (move over bouzouki) such as the three-stringed balalaika, will be used.
