Piano In 4 (Piano Concert for 4 Hands)

The duet “Piano in 4” with Clio Papadia and Stephanie Soteriou will travel us around the world by presenting works for four hands, from Asia to Europe and United States.

On this journey, the melodies make stops in the snowy Istanbul, the dance rhythms of Spain, the fairy melodies of the French impressionism, the American jazz and the Argentine tango.
