Piano recital with Eleni Mavromoustki

We are delighted to announce that the pianist Eleni Mavromoustaki will be performing at the Archontiko Technon (ARTE) on Monday, 19th December 2011 at 20:00. The concert is organised by the ‘Friends of ARTE Society’ and it is coordinated by DueCapi.

The ‘Friends of ARTE Society’ is a non profit cultural organisation that promotes several events in order to give a new prospective into the cultural scene of Cyprus. The society gives opportunities to several young artists (painters, musicians, actors etc) to present their work and also combines together different genres bringing together all different forms of Art. So far, it has hosted some very important personalities such as the pianist Martino Tirimo and the poet Thomas Transtromer.

Born in Cyprus Eleni began piano lessons aged five with Novia Mavromoustaki and Pitsa Spyridaki and later trained at the Royal College of Music and Royal Scottish Academy of Music and Drama. Her mentors have included Yonty Solomon, Fali Pavri and Martino Tirimo. She has been generously supported by the Leventis Foundation. Her successes include prizes at the, Maria Callas Grand prix in Athens, Mozart International Competition Salzburg, the EU Piano Competition in Prague, the Royal Overseas League Competition, the Patras International Piano competition and the George Themis Pan-Hellenic Piano Competition. Eleni has performed concerti with orchestras including the Cyprus Symphony Orchestra, the Patras Chamber Orchestra, the state orchestra of Thessaloníki, and collaborated with the Scottish Ensemble and the Hyperion Ensemble.
