Stefanos Kozanis · Στέφανος Κοζάνης

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!

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:

First Presentation: Thursday, June 4th, Concerto Café Artistic

On Thursday, June 4th, at 21:00, the welcoming space of Concerto Café Artistic hosts the first official presentation of the new musical project by composer and pianist Stefanos Kozanis, titled "ODESEAS".

ODESEAS (Ode + Seas) is a contemporary musical ode to the Mediterranean seas–an "Odyssey" for solo piano, inspired by the Homeric epic, the waters crossed by the mythical hero, and the archetypal female figures he encountered along his path.

In his first solo piano work, the composer transforms the piano into a "vessel" that celebrates the element of water. The suite consists of 11 parts (one for Odysseus and ten for the years of wandering), mapping 5 seas and 5 women who defined the journey of the return.

Joining the presentation is Christina Politou, who gives voice to the stories narrated by the music through her own texts. Her narration shifts the work from the mythical to a human and psychological level, creating a dialogue where word and sound become one.

Stefanos Kozanis' musical idiom blends classical piano literature with the freedom of jazz and improvisation, "coloring" the result with the light of the Mediterranean. With a duration of just over an hour, ODESEAS invites the listener into an internal experience, in places both mythical and as familiar as the seas that surround us.
