abOuT The COmPOSerSyannis Constantinidis was born in Smyrna, Asia Minor (now Izmir, Turkey) in 1903. Despite growing up during a turbulent time at the height of the Greco-Turkish War (1919-22), he was able to flee the region to study music in Berlin, counting Kurt Weill among his teach-ers. Costantinidis based his compositional style almost entirely on Greek folk songs and dance. He was active in the Athenian musical theatre during its golden years, writing over 50 operettas, revues, and musical comedies. Constantinidis composed approximately 200 com-positions, ranging from stage works, song cycles, individual songs, choral works, numerous orchestral and chamber works to his significant contribution in piano repertoire, including 44 Children’s Pieces on Greek Melodies. He died in 1984 in Athens.

manolis Kalomiris was born in Smyrna (modern Izmir) in 1883. He founded the Hel-lenic Conservatory, as well as the national Conservatory, where he was director and later president until his death.

His considerable output includes over 200 works in a wide range of genres, as well as a num-ber of musical instruction books. Kalomiris died in Athens in 1962.

abOuT The COmPOSerS (COnT.)

Philippos Tsalahouris was born in the Congo in 1969 and raised in Athens. A noted scholar of the music of Manolis Kalomiris, he is in charge of the Kalomiris Archives and is a member of the Manolis Kalomiris Society. Tsalahouris is one of the most prolific and active Greek composers of his generation. Tsalahouris’s music has been performed by all the major symphonic and choral groups of Greece in all the major Greek festivals, as well as in Uruguay and across Europe. He has received commissions from Sarolta Kodály and the Kodály Inter-national Society, the Athens Concert Hall Megaron and the Benaki Museum. He currently teaches at the Kodály Conservatory in Athens and the Athens Conservatoire.

manos hadjidakis, who was born in Xanthi in 1925, is considered one of modern Greece’s greatest composers. He transformed the seemingly lower-class rebetika and popular music into a respected art form by combining folk and classical styles. In Greece, he was well-known as a pop songwriter, with countless tunes that are considered classics. Hadjidakis gained recognition abroad for his movie soundtracks, winning an Oscar in 1960 for the title song from Never on Sunday. He composed extensively for theater, ballet, as well as classical works for large and small ensembles. A proponent of newly composed works, he founded and conducted several orchestras throughout his career to promote this mission, including the Athens Experimental Orchestra (est. 1963) and Orchestra of Colours (est. 1989). He remained a highly respected intellectual and cultural figure in Greece up until his death in 1994.

Christos hatzis is widely recognized as “one of the most important composers writing today” (CBC) and “a contemporary Canadian Master” (the new yorker). He has two recent Juno awards and a SOCAn Award to his credit, as well as a slew of new commissions by internationally recognized touring artists such as violinists Angèle Dubeau and Hilary Hahn, percussionist Dame Evelyn Glennie, soprano Suzie Leblanc, the Pacifica Quartet and Tafel-musik Baroque Orchestra among others. Hatzis’ music is influenced by early Christian spiri-tuality, Pythagorean and Hermetic ideas, his own Byzantine music heritage, world cultures and religions, and various classical, jazz and pop music idioms from the past and present. Hatzis is a professor of composition at the University of Toronto.

mikis Theodorakis was born in 1925 (the same year as Manos Hadjidakis) on the island of Chios. Well-known internationally for his film score for Zorba the Greek (1964), Z (1969) and State of Siege (1972), he has also composed a great deal of concert music, including sympho-nies, operas, ballets, oratorios such as To Axion Esti, as well as over 1,000 songs and song cycles that have become part of the cultural fabric of the Greek musical tradition. A member of the wartime resistance, he remained active in politics, serving several times in the Greek parlia-ment. As a Communist Party member, he was arrested during the 1967 military coup and only released in 1970 under international pressure. He is esteemed in Greece as a national hero.

andreas makris was born in Thessaloniki in 1930. He graduated from the Mannes College of Music and attended the Fountainbleau School in France, where in 1958 Makris studied composition with nadia Boulanger. An accomplished violinist, he was a member of the Dallas and St. Louis Symphonies before joining the national Symphony Orchestra, where he would remain for 28 years. In 1970, Makris became the first composer to have his work pre-miered at the Kennedy Center Concert Hall in Washington, D.C. and would later compose a work honoring the 25th anniversary of the Kennedy Center. His Aegean Festival Overture is widely performed and recorded in orchestras and concert bands across the United States. Makris died in 2005, leaving behind an output of nearly one hundred original compositions and arrangements.
