Dimitris Kotronakis (guitarist) and Apostolos Paraskevas (composer), together with Tasos Tsimpoukidis (audio engineer) will present their new album entitled The Guitar Études, released in January 2021, by Silver Sickle Publications. This will be the first world presentation of the album, which contains 24 studies for classical guitar, written by the distinguished professor Apostolos Paraskevas. Although it is a set of pieces that share the same aesthetics, each one of the 24 studies has its own personality and texture, with a gradual increase of performer’s technical demands.
In this presentation, Dimitris Kotronakis will play 14 studies, in two sets. Just before the first set, Professor Costas Tsougras (School of Music Studies, Aristotle University of Thessaloniki - Greece) will make a short announcement. Accordingly, before the second set, guitarist and musicologist Yiannis Andronoglou (Teaching Fellow at the University of West Macedonia - Greece) will also make a short announcement.
The livestream will take place at 8:30pm Eastern European / 10:30am Pacific.
