Plato’s Symposium Serenade for Flute, Harp, Percussion and Strings (arr. Karapanos)| ~33’ (not to be published yet)
The concept of this arrangement of the famous Serenade is to give more space to the melodic lines to shine by including another soloist from the orchestra into every movement (except of the Scherzo). This allows the extremely beautiful and diverse in each movement colors that the Maestro envisioned to appear in a magical new way.
