My story
One of the most acclaimed cellists of Greece, Yannis is renowned for his intensity and forward drive of music, his capacity to produce a wide range of sounds, marked with distinctively pure and smooth qualities and tone shading. Yannis followed cello studies in Thessaloniki under the leading music pedagogue Manolis Kazambakas at the Thessaloniki State Conservatoire and received with the highest distinctions and awards his Diploma degree in 1990. The Academy of Athens has paid Yannis the highest honour for his artistic excellence, giving him the Spyros Montsenigos Award.
