Hello from Athens, Greece!
By way of introduction, I am Spiros Moschopoulos, a composer and pianist from Athens.  I would like to present you with a new project of mine on Argentinian tango and original  music in the hope of being included in future festivals involving such music. This particular project involves piano and accordion, featuring my collaboration with the world’s acclaimed composer and accordion soloist, Zoe Tiganouria.(website  http://www.zoe-music.net/ )
The musical “core” of our repertoire is tango (nuevo and traditional) but we go far beyond that, including  original music of our own: (not only tango but inspired by Greek folk tunes)

and read an excerpt from the press release for our concert:
“The well-known composer and accordion soloist Zoe Tiganouria, after the recent releases of her two books with music sheets and CDs entitled Zoe’s Music No.1 & Zoe’s Music No.2 for accordion & piano, as well as her discography (seven personal CDs and hundreds of compositions and arrangements in the Greek and global music market), in combination with the compositions and arrangements of the piano soloist Spiros Moschopoulos, present a wonderful show with riveting interpretations that are like confessions from the depths of their souls! .…The show is enriched by genuine tango and traditional melodies from all over Greece.”
