About Kyriakos Tzortzinakis
Kyriakos Tzortzinakis was one of Greece’s most important guitar composers. Born in Athens, he graduated from the National Conservatory with a Diploma in classical guitar (class of Dimitris Fampas), and at the same time studied architecture in Florence. His gift for composition was spotted by Manos Hadjidakis, who praised the ‘inspiration and spontaneous talent’ of young Kyriakos in a handwritten note as early as 1976. In a brief lifetime, he wrote several works for one and two guitars as well as a concerto for guitar and orchestra.
