PANAYOTI KAROUSOS

Greek-Canadian composer-baritone Panayoti Karousos presented two seasons his opera Prometheus in Montreal's Place des Arts, 1994 and 1996, and sung in many occasions in Montreal art festivals and appeared in many radio and TV stations. In May 1998 he was invited to present his chamber music works at the Beverly Hills City Hall in Los Angeles. He sung and recorded a cassette for the historic visit to Canada of the Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew. In March 2000 he premiered his Symphonic Poem The Spirit of Liberty. After the concert Panayoti inaugurated a Liberty Award, which he presented to Canada's Prime Minister Pierre E. Trudeau. He acclaimed for his works Piano Concerto for Peace, Suite Montrealaise, Olympic Symphony and The Song of the Nations, dedicated to the UN. In 2003 he released in North America the CD Panayoti Grece pays d'amour.
