Lenio Liatsou

Pianist Lenio Liatsou’s commitment to new music has its roots in her study years in London, where her relationship with the late Susan Bradshaw catalysed her increasing commitment to contemporary repertoire and new music. Since her debut at the Purcell Room, she has appeared in prominent new music festivals and venues, including at Carnegie Hall, Darmstadt, Spor, Klang, Onassis Cultural Centre and the Munich Biennale.

As part of her activity in music theatre she has recently initiated Once to Be Realised, based on Jani Christou sketches, in which she collaborates with the composers Beat Furrer, Barblina Meierhans, Olga Neuwirth, Samir Odeh-Tamimi, Youghi Pagh-Paan and Christian Wolff. She also teaches contemporary piano performance.

In addition to works by Niels Rønsholdt, Lenio Liatsou has worked with composers such as George Aperghis, Carola Bauckholt, Christian Winther Christensen, Simone Movio and Manos Tsangaris. These collaborations have resulted in new works and commissions. She has recorded as a soloist and with her ensemble dissonArt, and her recording of the monumental work for piano solo For Bunita Marcus by Morton Feldman has achieved international praise.
