Athens State Orchestra

Paradies und Peri
by Robert Schumann

Secular oratorio in three parts, for six solo voices, chorus and orchestra, opus 50

The Athens State Orchestra pays tribute to Robert Schumann in this, the 150th anniversary of the death of the quintessentially Romantic German composer, with its first ever performance of his “finest” work, as himself considered; a work which elevated the secular oratorio to its greatest heights.
