The music of Slovakia in Berlin’s distinguished Konzerthaus
The music of Slovakia in Berlin’s distinguished Konzerthaus Peter Machajdik, the most frequently played Slovak composer in the German-speaking world, was himself present when the avant-garde orchestra Camerata Europaea presented two of the composer’s own works in Berlin’s distinguished Konzerthaus. Under the charismatic Greek conductor Maria Makraki the orchestra not only performed masterfully Machajdik’s music in its "Rhythm & Strings" concert series, but also works by contemporary Cypriot and Greek composers. The performance received the financial support of the Slovak Institute in Berlin, in cooperation with the Bratislava Music Fund.
