Alexandra Nomidou :

Pianist Alexandra Nomidou lives in Paris, where she has performed in numerous prestigious halls and festivals such as Salle Gaveau, the Auditorium des Halles, the Festival Estival de Paris. Likewise, she has played abroad, notably in Switzerland, England, Belgium, Italy, Turkey, Brazil, Estonia and the United States, as well as at the Megaron Mousikis in Athens; she has performed as a soloist with renowned orchestras, such as the Norwegian Chamber Orchestra, the Budapest Symphony Orchestra, the National Orchestras of Salonica and Athens with which she premiered the second piano concerto by Petros Petridis. She also performs chamber music, mainly with the Trio Hellénique.

Having obtained a first prize in piano and chamber music at the Athens Conservatory, she continued her training with masters Pierre Sancan and Yvonne Lefébure, attended masterclasses by Yevgeny Malinin, and Léon Fleischer's seminar at the prestigious Tanglewood Music Center in the United States.

She has recorded two albums for EMI with works by Schumann, Schubert, Brahms and Ravel, which were warmly received by critics.

"Here is Schumann as he truly is... This pianist conquers us immediately by the astonishing maturity of her reading, by the clarity of her technique, by a softness of touch worthy of Kempff." (Diapason Magazine)

She has taken part in many shows combining theater and music, both in Greece and France, which met with public enthusiasm.

Since 2005, she created in Athens a concert series "Autour du Piano", during which dozens of young Greek and foreign soloists and musicians of international renown have been able to express themselves.
