The chamber music festival founded by the two pianists Danae and Kiveli D\u00f6rken on the Greek island of Lesbos has managed to establish itself as one of the most beautiful and inspired festivals in Southern Europe, despite all the non-musical challenges of the last ten years. With passion, creative ideas and equally committed allies, the two sisters have succeeded in bringing together top stars such as Lars Vogt, Christian Tetzlaff and Marlis Petersen as well as Europe&#8217;s young musical talent for chamber concerts, Musical Moments in the old town and various educational projects in Molyvos. The birthday edition presents artists such as Simon Bode, Antje Weithaus and No\u00e9 Inui as well as a world premiere by Lucas Thanos.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-social-links has-icon-color
