Commissioned by percussionist Dame Evelyn Glennie, View From Olympus (2001) is one of Psathas’s landmark works. This award-winning double concerto takes listeners on a journey through the world of Greek percussion styles and playing techniques. Its three movements feature an adapted transcription of improvised Greek violin music, a tender tribute to the composer’s children, and a depiction of the legendary Maenads celebrating their god Dionysos with song, music and dance.
