Grigoris Grigoriou works in the field of contemporary orchestral music. Born into an artistic family, his involvement with music definitely shows his natural evolution. From the first sound, his works attract the listeners’ interest, even if someone is not familiar or has studied serious music.
Grigoriou’s Piano Preludes 1–5 were written in 2005. The remaining 3 Preludes were composed in 2020. These preludes are virtuosic works that offer a wide variety of colors and pianistic performing technics.
