With the release of this album, my goal is to capture a significant chapter of my life: my journey into the world of classical guitar. It began at the age of five in Athens and has since reached other countries and continents. My purpose has always been, and will remain, to delve deeper into and serve music with passion and respect for this calling.

Dedicated to all those who believed in me and helped me follow this path.

To my teachers—Roberto Aussel, Elena Papandreou, Oscar Ghiglia, Roland Dyens, Kalliopi Panagiotopoulos, and many others—and, of course, to my family.

Thank you for your support
