The founding of the Berliner Philharmoniker on May 1st, 1882, is celebrated annually in an European city of cultural significance. In 2015 the Europakonzert took place in Athens’ great concert hall, the Megaron, with Leonidas Kavakos joining the Berliner Philharmoniker. The Greek violinist celebrated a home triumph with his interpretations of Sibelius’ Violin Concerto and Bach’s “Largo” from Sonata No. 3.
