PRESENTATION

As 2022 begins, the curtain is lifted on the Cosmos concert at the Stavros Niarchos Foundation Cultural Center (SNFCC), bringing together the past, present and future of music.

On Monday, January 24, at 20:30, German producer and composer Christian Löffler, one of the most creative and innovative artists in contemporary music, meets Ergon Ensemble, the leading contemporary music orchestra in Greece, for a unique live event at the Stavros Niarchos Hall that will blend together two seemingly heterogeneous worlds.

Following the release of his album Parallels by Deutsche Grammophon, in which Löffler reworks classic pieces of great composers, such as Bach, Beethoven, Chopin, Wagner, Smetana and Bizet, framing them in downtempo soundscapes, ever-creative Löffler returns to Athens for a quite remarkable joint concert. Melodies drawn from different centuries, sounds from consoles and string instruments, "clash" on stage in a concert that is powered by the Stavros Niarchos Foundation (SNF) and accompanied by audiovisual effects that will make for an immersive experience.

The musician, composer and visual artist Christian Löffler was born in Greifswald, a small town in Northern Germany, in 1985. A low-profile but very active artist, he started out as a self-taught musician at the age of 14, in search of a different sound. His sophisticated and energetic live sets, coupled with his ability to combine melancholy notes and alternating emotions with dance music, have ensured him many fans over the years. In his current tour for the album Parallels, he is not simply inspired by classical composers, but also integrating them into the language of contemporary music.

Ergon Ensemble was created in 2008, aiming to present works by living composers as well as masterpieces of the 20th and 21st-century avant-garde. Featuring a core lineup of musicians, which is further reinforced, depending on the needs of each project, by a large number of talented young artists, it is currently the leading contemporary music ensemble in Greece. Its great flexibility, precision of interpretation, impeccable preparation, and the talent of the musicians comprising it, have led to exceptional reviews and a broad acceptance among the public. Ergon Ensemble has collaborated with the Greek National Opera, the Athens Concert Hall, Onassis Stegi, and has performed at several domestic and international festivals (Athens Festival, SNF Nostos, Suså Festival - Denmark, etc.).
