Music

I have so much passion for performing arts. I love performing classical music, from Tchaikovsky, to Shostakovich to Brahms. I am a multi genre violinist and I am passionate about playing different styles of music such as pop songs, jazz, traditional Greek music and much more. I love connecting with people through music, making every performance a unique experience. I have performed extensively in venues such as Blue note and Carnegie Hall being part of the New England Symphonic Ensemble since 2023.
When I'm not on stage, you'll find me indulging in my other passions: food, travel and singing. I love exploring new restaurants and sharing my culinary adventures on Instagram. Whether it's through music or food, I'm all about creating joyful, memorable experiences and reaching out to as many people as possible. Can't wait to make music and connect with as many audiences as possible!
