Very exciting to be contributing towards this great project – Interfaces, coordinated by the Onassis Cultural Centre and supported by the Creative Europe Programme of the European Union:

“Interfaces is an international, interdisciplinary project focusing on bringing new music to an extensive range of new audiences. It involves a partnership of organisations from a wide range of European countries having a broad spectrum of experience in fields such as performing, multi-media exhibitions, new media, acoustic and electroacoustic research and education. This trans-sectoral approach is the key to opening up new perspectives on both the creative dimension of the project and the central objective, which is to engage new audiences of all ages and those potential audience segments which, for a variety of demographic or cultural reasons have not yet been exposed to the music of our time.”

As part of this project, I have been asked by one of the participating institutions, the European University Cyprus, to write a set of pedagogical pieces: duos (student and teacher) – for two violins and four hands piano. Pedagogy is one of my passions as a musician, and as a composer, I have written for children before (e.g. my cycle Čekori), but not for a few years now – and it is very inspiring to come back to it.
