I read music at the Ionian University while studying the guitar with Costas Grigoreas. Thereafter I moved to the U.K in order to specialize in early music performance, studying historical plucked instruments (lute, theorbo, baroque guitar) with Elizabeth Kenny. As a scholar of Michelis Foundation, I completed my Masters at the University of York. I continued my studies with scholarships by the Onassis Foundation and the University of York and in 2005 I was awarded my PhD.
As a performer I have taken part in recordings (Decca, Naïve, MDG, Aparté et al) and concerts in Greece, U.K., Spain, Italy, Germany, France, Switzerland, Russia, Holland, Romania, Belgium, Austria, Romania, Croatia, Slovenia and Bulgaria with various ensembles (Armonia Atenea, Pomo d’oro, Latinitas nostra, Yorkshire Baroque Soloists, Athens and Thessaloniki State Symphony Orchestras et al).
As an academic I frequently present lectures and my papers have been published in journals such as The Lute, Mousicology, Mousikos Loghos and Annals for Aesthetics, as well as in various books. I am an assistant professor at the Music Department of the Aristotelian University of Thessaloniki, Greece.
