Charis Ioannou Trio feat. Vahagn Hayrapetyan

The Charis Ioannou Group that includes Michael Messios on bass and Ioannis Vafeas on drums, has been playing together for about 5 years now and have already made numerous appearances at clubs and festivals around Cyprus, England, Poland, Kuwait, Greece and Serbia.

This time, joining them on piano will be Vahagn Hayrapetyan. Vahagn was born in 1968 to a musical family and showed his tremendous talent for music from a really young age. He composed a children's opera when he was 7 years old and later on, when he was 9 he started his jazz career when he performed with the legendary Polish saxophonist Janush Muniak. From there on he has appeared all over the world playing jazz music with some of the world's greatest musicians.

The music that will be performed at the festival can be characterized as Authentic Classic Jazz that is deeply rooted in the American tradition of the 1940s and 1950s. Don't miss the rare appearance of this band as the experience of the music that is to be performed is guaranteeing to mesmerize the audience!
