I am honored to be one of this year’s commissioned artists by the Onassis Foundation for this tribute to composer Maurice Ohana, in the realm of the “Music Connects The Onassis Stegi and the Panteion University” Concert Series.
Join us at the presentation of my compositional work, including doRon eauTomb as a tribute to Ohana. Presentations by Eirini Krikoni (violin), Dimitris Karagiannakidis (cello) and Marilena Souri (piano) will follow, on the topic of performing Ohana, collaborating on commissioned works for this tribute, and making music as members of Oros Ensemble.

ABOUT the tribute to Maurice Ohana:
“This year’s edition serves as a tribute to a double anniversary – 110 years since the birth, and 30 since the death of Maurice Ohana (1913-1992), a composer whose work is deeply rooted in the music traditions of the Mediterranean. Arab-Andalusian music, flamenco, the poetry of Lorca, Greek mythology, jazz, and African percussion all feed into and inspire his compositions, as does the music of Claude Debussy, Manuel de Falla, Béla Bartók, and Olivier Messiaen. Works for solo piano and ensemble chamber music will feature across four concerts, set alongside music drawn from his personal universe.”
