Video highlights from the "OdeSeas" premiere at Concerto
A few days after our moving premiere night at Concerto Café Artistic, we are sharing some video highlights from this new musical journey between Myth and the Mediterranean.
As a glimpse into the performance, in one video you can watch almost the entire "Prelude - Odysseus", featuring the interplay between the solo piano and Christina Politou's narration. The other video is a continuous musical sequence, opening with the powerful finale of "Atlantic Ocean", moving into Christina's spoken word, and leading up to the middle of the solo in "Calypso".
This is a live capture of the suite, as we prepare for our upcoming performances this fall, and look forward to the official album release on January 15th, 2027. Enjoy the music and have a beautiful summer ahead!

A big thank you for the premiere of "OdeSeas"
Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your touching presence at the official premiere of #OdeSeas, the ode to the seas and the archetypal female figures of the Odyssey!
I feel deeply grateful that you filled the venue and joined us as fellow travelers on this new musical journey. A big thank you to Christina Politou, who believed in this project from the very beginning, giving voice and breath to the music's narratives, and stepped on board without a second thought.
I would also like to warmly thank Viktor Melistas for the exceptional artwork of our poster, as well as Dimitris Aivaliotis for the wonderful hospitality at Concerto Café Artistic.
The journey of OdeSeas has just begun:
- Upcoming Shows: Our live performances will continue dynamically in the upcoming season, this fall.

A Magical Night in Chalandri for International Jazz Day
The celebrations of the Municipality of Chalandri for International Jazz Day culminated yesterday, April 30th, at the city's central square. It was an exceptional event, with the square packed with an audience that lived and breathed every moment of the performance.
It was a great joy for us to participate in this celebration, which provided the perfect opportunity to introduce our newly formed duo: "Just Jazzin' Around", featuring Nassia Gofa on vocals and Stefanos Kozanis on piano.
In just a few days, on Saturday, May 9th, our duo will perform at Concerto Cafe Artistic with an extended program, and we look forward to seeing you there!
We would like to warmly thank the organizers and the Municipality of Chalandri, as well as Spyros Lefkofrydis, whose personal initiative and dedication brought this wonderful celebration to life. We hope for more initiatives like this in the future—giving a voice to diverse musical genres, supporting artists, and providing us with the opportunity to present the music we love to a wider audience.
✨ See you on May 9th at Concerto!
New Release: "Ston Kipo ton Oneiron" (In the Garden of Dreams)
On March 20th, 2026, coinciding with the Vernal Equinox, we welcome spring with a brand new song: "Ston Kipo ton Oneiron".
The track is a romantic ballad born from a need to offer a note of optimism and love in today’s challenging world. This release marks a personal milestone, as it is one of my first works where I have composed both the music and the lyrics.
The song features the ethereal vocals of Katerina Konstantinou, accompanied by an exceptional group of musicians who bring this atmospheric soundscape to life:
- Katerina Konstantinou: Vocals
- Kaiti Pantzari: Cello
- Nektarios Stamatelos: Ney
- Stefanos Kozanis: Piano / Composition / Lyrics
Credits:
- Audio Engineering, Mixing & Mastering: Petros Petropoulos (Studio Polyphoniki)
- Cover Photography: Yiannis Pavlidis
The official music video is available on YouTube, and the track can be found on all major streaming platforms (Spotify, Apple Music, Tidal, YouTube Music).
Aeschylus’ “Persae” – Performances – The Music Is Released
Aeschylus’ “Persae” – Performances – The Music Is Released
On December 29, 2025, the premiere of Aeschylus’ “Persae” took place, directed and performed by Phaedon Kastris. The performances run every Monday and Tuesday until February 3, 2026, at the Fournos Theatre. The music of the production was released on January 1, 2026 and is available on YouTube, Bandcamp as well as on all major digital music platforms.
The music was created as an organic and dramaturgical element of the performance, engaging in dialogue with the poetic text and the stage action, while at the same time standing as an autonomous listening work. The compositional material moves within the field of contemporary jazz, enriched with strong elements of Greek and Eastern tradition, and is based on the combination of ney and jazz piano trio, following a ritualistic, almost “liturgical” trajectory that reflects the sufferings of the Persians.
The musicians featured are Stefanos Kozanis (piano, composition), Nektarios Stamatelos (ney), Chrysostomos Boukalis (double bass), and Nikos Sidirokastritis (drums). Recording, mixing, and mastering were carried out by George Priniotakis at Artracks Recording Studios, while both the performance poster and the release artwork were designed by Viktor Melistas. The release was made with the support of Jazz Breeze Records.
