The concert soloists, Rosa Poulimenou, Yiannis Christopoulos and Sotiris Triantis, accompanied by the Camerata Vocalis, delivered with characteristic detail and expressiveness the demanding work of Théodore Dubois, with a defining moment being the choral Dorian entrance shouting 'Crucify him', the irony of the tenors 'If you are Christ', and the 'End' from the percussion simulating an earthquake.
The Board of Directors would like to warmly thank the Municipality of Central Corfu, Corfu Inspectorate of Antiquities for granting the use of the church, the 'Capodistrias' Philharmonic Society and the Ionian Conservatory for the musical equipment.
