The Chania Chamber Music Festival, now in its 11th year, claims to be the only event in Crete devoted exclusively to chamber music. Its artistic committee is composed of a number of distinguished musicians: violinist Giorgos Demertzis, pianists Vasilis Varvaresos and Titos Gouvelis, cellist Angelos Liakakis and violinist-businessman Giorgos Mathioulakis. This year’s festival, which carries the title “The Creation of the World – La Création du Monde”, from the 1923 work of the same name by Darius Milhaud, aims to present works which were ground-breaking in their time, opening up new artistic horizons.
