Organized by the International Association of Art “The Muse”, which proudly marks its 25th anniversary this year, and under the artistic direction of Christophor Miroshnikov, Museuphoria Nights launches its first season with a three-concert program.

The concert will feature some of the pinnacles of chamber music, including Grieg’s Sonata for Violin and Piano No. 3and Shostakovich’s Sonata for Cello and Piano.

A special tribute will also be given to Dora Bakopoulos, a pianist whose career has profoundly shaped Greece’s musical landscape and significantly contributed to its piano artistry. To honor her achievements, the International Association of Art “The Muse” has established a special award, which will be presented to her during the evening. Following the presentation, Ms. Bakopoulos will captivate the audience with a selection of timeless works by Schubert, Chopin, and Massenet.
