ELIA STAVROU – PIANIST

“A student of Jeremy Davis for 15 years who himself studied under Vlado Perlemuter, Elia Stavrou now enjoys giving performances of some of the most virtuoso pieces in the piano repertoire.

His first concert series, devised and entitled Masks after Debussy’s piano masterpiece, saw him perform works by three French composers 2019. As part of the programme Elia performed Ravel’s Gaspard de la Nuit in venues around the country with a series of concerts concluding at the Landmark Arts Centre in Teddington. Elia also took part in the Ealing Music and Film Festival prior to the lockdowns beginning in 2020, performing a solo recital there.

His love for the treacherously notorious set of works, Gaspard de la Nuit, inspired the name for the music studio and record label he created in 2020. Gaspard Music Academy is not just a hub for musicians based in Richmond, West London, where classes and concerts take place, but is also home to the Gaspard Music Academy Record label that Elia also created. It was on this label that his debut album Pieces of Reflection was recorded.

Music by Chopin, Rachmaninoff, Brahms, Scriabin and Greek composer Constantinidis.
