Music is a moral law. It gives soul to the universe wings to the mind.
Plato
Sotiris Athanasiou

Born into a musical family and forged into the heart of Paris, Sotiris is following a path accompanied by the guitar from the very start that rests unchanged till this day. His repertoire is starting from the 16th century and reaches to music written today where he collaborates with new composers searching to expand the repertoire of the instrument. Appreciated by artists in his second home of the French capital he has been hailed for his original musicality and technique on the guitar. Edith Lejet (Prix de Rome) after listening to his interpretation of her own music wrote...

"I was delighted to meet the beauty and the extreme variety of sounds that Sotiris is able to transmit with his instrument".

In 2020 a new chapter has been started in Sotiris’s life with the creation of the ”Argos Duo’’with the accordionist Julien Beautemps focusing on 21st century music, improvisation and creation as well as his duo with the flutist Stathis Karapanos focusing on original repertoire for the formation. His project of creating a completely new cycle of repertoire for the guitar inspired by his passion, Greek Mythology collaborating with composers of 4 different continents is going to be his subject for his first CD and coming recitals.
