Themis Vasiliou & Horos Duet

Themis Vasiliou (guitarist and composer) presents his works for solo classical guitar for the first time at KET. His guitar and compositional style has already been captured in works such as Solo Electric (2022, works for solo electric guitar), Vasilaraps: 4 Kamines for guitar duo (2021, as a guitar duo with Yiannis Arapis), as well as on the album Sons of Zevedeus (2018), as guitarist of the progressive rock band Sons of Zevedeus.

His new compositions for classical guitar reflect his diverse musical background and a more direct expression of his compositional thinking. The works to be presented have not been released to date.

Horos Duet, featuring Stylianos Tziritas (piano) and Michalis Karagiannis (drums), will also participate in the concert, presenting new compositions. The double live performance is also inspired by Themis’ recent collaboration with Horos on a track from their upcoming release.
