    Website "concours-debachaujazz.com" – Home page 2021 Online Edition – June 2021 De Bach au Jazz - alternating with: Online Edition for Classical Piano and Jazz Piano International Piano Competition 2021 Classical Piano - Jazz Piano Welcome to the site of the International Piano Competition 2021 "De Bach Au Jazz - From Bach to Jazz" Created by the Cultural Association "Nathalie" (www.association-nathalie.com) and after the very successful previous editions in Paris and in Athens, the 2021 edition will also be held Online again under the auspices of the "Athens Conservatoire" (Odeion Athinon) and will welcome candidates of all levels and horizons with the aim of promoting all musical styles from J. S. Bach to our day, including a NEW separate full fledged section for JAZZ PIANO. In relation to the current special conditions due to the health pandemic, we have decided to make this edition online, over the Internet. The most basic priority for artists in this difficult situation is to be able to keep the "musical spirit" alive. This competition aims at providing a vehicle for young artists to improve their skills and maintain their interest and love for all kinds of music. This edition of "De Bach Au Jazz" competition is organised in two independent sections, one for classical piano and one for jazz piano. The Cultural Association "Nathalie", active both in France and abroad, was setup by the internationally renowned pianist Lilia Boyadjieva in memory of her daughter Nathalie, killed at the age of 20 by an irresponsible car driver. We will always remember her tender and cheeky smile, her "joie de vivre" and her love of all music.

The great marble masterpieces were constructed during the late 5th-century BC reign of Perikles, the Golden Age of Athens. Most were temples built to honour Athena, the city’s patron goddess. Still breathtaking for their proportion and scale, both human and majestic, the temples were adorned with magnificent, dramatic sculptures of the gods.

  • Dining in Athens
    DINING IN ATHENS Athens is a haven of bustling eateries, ouzeries, ‘souvlaki’ (shishkebob) joints, even Michelin-rated international restaurants and other international cuisine. Our hotel is just a stone’s throw from Syntagma Square (where you’ll want to view the changing of the guard), Plaka (the heart of old Athens) and the Acropolis. A couple of informative websites are: • “Matt Barrett’s Top 10 Things to Do in Athens”: www.athensguide.com/top-10/index.htm • www.athensinfoguide.com Syntagma, Plaka and Monastiraki boast mainly Greek restaurants (simple eateries are known as “tavernas” as opposed to more formal restaurants), although right on Syntagma Square you’ll find the requisite McDonald’s, plus Everest sandwiches and Loxandras souvlaki (on Ermou St). On Mitropoleos Street at Nos. 12-14, is O Tzitzikas kai O Mermigas (‘The Grasshopper and the Ant’), an excellent “mezedopoleio” which serves “mezedes”, like Middle Eastern ‘mezes’ and Spanish ‘tapas’. Call ahead for reservations: 210-324-7607. Off of Stadiou St., near Syntagma, is a sophisticated, slightly upscale restaurant called Pasaji, serving ‘modern’ Greek food. From Syntagma Square, go one block on Stadiou St, turn right at Voukourestiou St, and on the left is City Link - the Stoa Spiromiliou (a covered walkway), where the restaurant is located. Tel: 210-322-0714. PLAKA Kydathinaion St joins Adrianou St right through the heart of Plaka all the way to Monastiraki (from Syntagma Sq, go up Filellinon St three blocks; Kydathinaion St starts on the right). Both streets are lined with shops and restaurants. Kydathinaion St runs through a charming square (Filomousou Etairias Sq.), where Byzantino is located – a Greek restaurant with authentic and fairly-priced Greek food.

  • When Crisis Becomes Form: Athens As a Paradigm Theophilos Tramboulis and Yorgos Tzirtzilakis
    When Crisis Becomes Form: Athens as a Paradigm Theophilos Tramboulis and Yorgos Tzirtzilakis Documenta 14 in Athens: a glossary Documenta 14 (d14) was an undoubtedly important exhibition which triggered endless debate and controversy that continues today.1 The choice of Athens as a topological paradigm by Adam Szymczyk, an ingenious curator with expected and unexpected virtues, initially fired people’s appetite and enthusiasm. Yet what it ultimately managed to do was demythicize the event itself in a way, as well as demonstrate a series of dangers in the operation of the institution. At the same time it brought to light a series of innate ailments and fantasies of contemporary culture in Greece, which manifested themselves in a distorted and sometimes aggressive fashion. This is not without significance, since it functioned complementarily to—rather than independently of—the exhibition. In short, d14 served as a kind of double mirror with which we could see the cultural relation of Greece with Europe and the world, but also the reverse: that of Europe with Greece. So what was d14 in Athens? For now we must necessarily sidestep its contribution to making Athens and Greek culture a temporary center of international attention in order to focus on what must not be overlooked. The series of arguments below can be read individually or successively as a network of alternating commentary, but also through their diagonal intersections, ruptures, disagreements, and connections, where meaning is produced in a syncretic or dialectical way. D14 is the symptom from which all discourse around it begins. 1/11 A political metonymy The critical reception of d14 in Greece focused mainly on the institution and its operation; on its discursive and political context rather than the works, concerts, or lectures— generally speaking, the actual art and discourse presented by the exhibition.
