Dimitri Ashkenazy
Technopolis 20 welcomed the world-known clarinettist Dimitri Ashkenazy for only two events in Paphos.
On the 4th of October 2018, a ‘chat-interview’ took place with the famous musician in order to get to know him as a person and as an artist. The discussion was ‘interrupted’ by a few clarinet solo interpretations of Dimitri, where one could realize that clarinet solo can be a very fascinating instrument.
On the 6th of October, a concert was organised, where Dimitri Ashkenazy performed with four soloists of the Cyprus Symphony Orchestra, the first concertmaster Wolfgang Schröder and the first violin Sorin Alexandru Horlea on violins, the sub-principal of viola section Vladimir Tkachenko and the principal cellist of Cyprus Symphony Orchestra Jakub Otčenášek.
The programme included the String Quartet in G Minor by Claude Debussy and the Clarinet Quintet in B minor, Op.115 by Johannes Brahms.
