CORFU. This Easter Corfiots will have to go without seeing their beloved Philharmonic Bands.
Nevertheless, "Easter isn't Easter without the Philharmonic Bands" and so the oldest bands on the island - 'Old' and 'Mantzaros' - decided to create the traditional unique atmosphere as much as possible with the aid of technology.
Speakers will be placed and recorded versions of all the pieces beloved to Corfiots and visitors will be played. "We will be present in sound," the President of the 'Old' Philharmonic Society Spyros Padovas told Enimerosi. Beginning on Palm Sunday and then at the traditional times for the processions and Epitafio.
In this way the music that is traditionally played - Adagio, Calde Lacrimae, Hamlet and others - will be heard throughout Corfu Town again this year.
The speakers were set up today and tests carried out so that everything is ready for Easter Week.
