Stelios Kerasides, an eight-year-old Greek piano virtuoso
and composer amazes the world by bringing a traditional Greek folk song, from
Eripus, into the modern era.
The boy’s “Isolation Waltz”, composed last March, went viral
as people around the world were amazed by his breath-taking musical
talent. The song was inspired by the coronavirus epidemic, that has affected all the world, and the deep
loneliness felt by all, due to the quarantine.
This is not the first time that this amazing child, who has
been playing the piano since he was three years of age, has received
international attention for his outstanding musical talent. When he was five,
in 2018, he won the first place award in the Golden Classic Music Awards, where
children from all around the world take part in the prestigious musical
competition and the winners have the opportunity to perform at Carnegie Hall in
New York.
His most recent project is a modern version of the
traditional Greek song from the region of Epirus, “Yianni mou to mantili sou,”
which features his own interpretation of the song on the piano accompanied by
the traditional clarinet.
We are very proud of this tiny musical genius, and happy name day, dear Stellio!
