Unicorn is a piece that holds a deeply personal significance for me. This work was born during a pivotal moment in my life, a time of profound change and reflection.

In 2020, I made the decision to dedicate myself wholeheartedly to composing classical music, not only as a passion that had always been close to my heart, but also as an irresistible need to serve Music. This piece, in many ways, marks the beginning of that journey—a musical expression of love and discovery. Such is the excitement I feel that it makes my heart beat in rhythm with the galloping hooves of a unicorn, racing swiftly through boundless musical dimensions.

From the very beginning, I envisioned this composition being brought to life by live musicians. However, the technical and emotional demands of the piece made it challenging to find the right performers. For years, it remained a dream to hear it played as I had imagined. That dream finally became a reality when I met two extraordinary musicians and dear friends, Maria Eklektou and Ioannis Stefos. Maria, a gifted violinist, and Ioannis, a talented cellist, embraced the challenge with enthusiasm and skill. Their dedication and artistry brought the soloistic parts to life in a way that exceeded my expectations.

Now, after five years of anticipation, I am excited to release this piece and share it with the world. It is a testament to the power of collaboration, friendship, and the enduring beauty of classical music. I hope that this composition resonates with you as deeply as it does with me, and that it brings a sense of connection and inspiration to all who listen.

Thank you for joining me on this journey..
