I am a Rotterdam‑based composer, researcher and educator who attempts to approach composition as a social practice. My work employs interactive media and indeterminacy to foreground participation. Currently a doctoral candidate at Codarts University for the Arts in Rotterdam, I investigate “The resonance of vocalising" seeking how vocal and listening practices can contribute performative imaginings of future ecological ways of being in times of climate and social injustice.
I have a Masters degree in Composition from Codarts University of the Arts (Rotterdam), where I studied with Hans Koolmees and Rene Uijlenhoet. Additionally I have studied "Composition" (bachelor's degree) in the Department of Music Studies of Ionian University (Corfu, Greece), with professors Dimitra Trypani and Vasilios Kitsos. In 2018-19 I studied "Music Composition" in HKU Utrecht Conservatory (Netherlands) with professor Caroline Ansink. I have received certificates in "Fugue", "Counterpoint" and "Harmony" as well as a Diploma in "Byzantine Music". I have also studied piano and classical singing.
I have composed works for ensemble, voices, solo instruments, electroacoustic music, mixed media performances and two chamber operas. I have arranged songs and have collaborated with ensembles and musicians in both Greece and the Netherlands. I have been a continuous member of choirs and vocal ensembles. As a former member of the "Ionian University Chamber Choir" I have performed in several concerts in Greece and abroad (Athens Megaron Concert Hall, Festival of Young Artists Bayreuth, Saint Paul Basilica Rome, Carnegie Hall NY).
