Sotirios Dimitriadis

“A magician on the piano”, "an experience of the highest calibre !”, “rousing, thunderous”, “a truly mystical experience”, “unforgettable”…Such are the international press comments about the exceptional art of the famous, internationally acclaimed, Greek concert pianist Sotirios Dimitriadis, who was born and raised in Athens.

He started taking piano lessons at the age of 3 and at 10 gave his first public concert. He won various scholarships over a total period of 18 years which enabled him to finance his studies in piano, chamber music and song accompaniment at the Athens Conservatory, where he graduated with highest degrees and honours as a solo performing artist, winning also the prize for the best overall performances of the year.

He then took post-graduate courses at the Academies of music in Salzburg and Moscow under the legendary Professor Tatiana Nikolayeva and at the Cologne Academy of Music in Germany. He passed the “Künstlerische Reifeprüfung” with the highest distinction and the “Konzertexamen” (the final postgraduate qualification that can be obtained in Germany in the field of artistic instrumental training, equivalent to a doctoral degree).

He has been awarded national and international prizes. He also studied physical medicine, physiotherapy and rehabilitation, specialising in neurophysiology. Degree thesis 10 (“outstanding”), degree examination 7.3 (“very good”). His Dissertation was the first ever scientific work in Greece regarding that subject (somatosensory evoked potentials). The results of his extended, international, several years research in neuropathology and neurophysiology for that work, have been issued as a book.

He speaks fluent Greek, German and English and a little Russian. He did his military service with the Greek Air Force. For a period of one year, he was responsible, educator and soloist of the Greek Air Force orchestra with which he performed numerous times throughout Greece.

Sotirios Dimitriadis has deepened his knowledge and skills under the tuition of some of the best-known personalities of our time including Bruno Leonardo Gelber, Tatiana Nikolayeva, Lev Vlasenko, Murray Perahia, Leon Fleisher, Paul Badura-Skoda, Peter Feuchtwanger and György Sebôk.

His wide repertoire comprises solo and chamber music from various periods of classical music as well as opera arias, songs, operettas, musical, evergreens, pop, jazz, waltzes, movies, folk music and Greek music. Educator for piano since 1984 and song interpretation since 1988, for some time also at the Cologne Academy of Music in Germany.

Concert preparation, arrangement of repertoires and interpretation for singers of song, operettas, opera, musicals and folk music. Very successful arrangements, amongst others, 32 compositions von Mikis Theodorakis, arranged for small, medium and large chamber music ensembles, performed in the biggest German cities.

Advisor of the German Ministry of Education and Cultural Affairs, long time member of the German DTKV (German Musicians Association), and the European Piano Teachers Association (EPTA). Guest of honour of the Mayor of Geilenkirchen, signature in the official "Golden Book" of the city.

Artistic director of multinational music projects. Co-founder and Leader of the Greek Children and Adult Choir in Aachen. Co-operation with contemporary composers.
