CORFU. Good Friday was completely unlike any other year. Everyone stayed at home but the music from the Philharmonic Bands could be heard everywhere.
Yet again Corfiots experienced the magnificent Epitaphio this year, with deep feelings and imagination. The music from the Philharmonic Bands, which normally parade through the narrow streets bringing tears to the eyes, was still heard this year.
With the aid of technology the musicians from the 'Old' Philharmonic Band were heard again this year. At 10pm - the time of the Epitaphio - over 170 musicians from the band came together online to play the traditional 'Adagio' by Tomaso Albinoni, arrangedby Dimitris Kafiris.
