Classical Guitarist • International Performer • Music Educator
From early musical studies in Greece to international concert stages, a journey spanning classical guitar performance, teaching, and cross-cultural collaboration.
Born in Greece in 1984, my musical journey began at age seven with classical guitar studies. After graduating with excellence from the National Conservatory of Athens at eighteen, I pursued advanced studies at the prestigious Universität Mozarteum in Salzburg.
For roughly fifteen years, based in Vienna, that work took the form of an international performance career alongside teaching at music institutions across the city. It spanned traditional classical repertoire, contemporary music, and cross-genre collaborations.
I have since moved into cybersecurity, where I now work full time. This page is the record of the musical chapter rather than an active concert diary.
