Out Now: Love's Crime
Love's Crime is a jazz ballad sung by Lieber Panos, with lyrics by Karina Ruby and music by Stefanos Kozanis. The track blends the intimacy of the Great American Songbook and Broadway tradition with a contemporary jazz sensibility, creating a timeless yet fresh sound. Its story draws subtle parallels with the myth of Orpheus and Eurydice, based on an idea by Ólia Maria Dakogianni, giving the song a poetic depth that resonates beyond a love song.
Performed by an international ensemble — Stefanos Kozanis (piano), Karina Ruby (drums), Jimmy Bikos (double bass), and Jykä Ahola (trumpet) — the track captures the warmth of live jazz while offering a theatrical flair reminiscent of musicals. Lieber Panos delivers his debut performance with remarkable emotional honesty, making Love's Crime both buzzworthy and memorable as an introduction to a new voice in jazz.

Live: Katerina Konstantinou & Stefanos Kozanis @ Concerto Café Artistic
After more than two years filled with rehearsals and hangouts – including swims in the sea, drinks and meals, disagreements but also agreements, recordings and releases, funny as well as serious videos, tears but also plenty of love – the time has come to fulfill the… prophecy.
Singer and songwriter Katerina Konstantinou together with pianist and composer Stefanos Kozanis present their first concert as a duo: a program full of contrasts and surprises, with beloved as well as unexpected songs, along with original compositions – some performed for the very first time.
We look forward to welcoming you, promising that after the concert nothing will ever be quite the same!
