Philharmonia Orchestra at the Odeon of Herodes Atticus under the baton of Santtu-Matias Rouvali

London’s renowned Philharmonia Orchestra will be performing at the Odeon of Herodes Atticus under the baton of its principal conductor Santtu-Matias Rouvali. Rouvali took over in 2021, at just the age of 35, a position held in the past by legends such as Toscanini, Karajan, and Muti. The vigour and sparkle of Rouvali’s approach to music is perfectly complemented by the explosive temperament of violinist Patricia Kopatchinskaja, dubbed the ‘enfant terrible’ of classical music for her unconventional and passionate performances.
