Magnanimus Trio have already counted 15 years of presence and creative activity in the music scene of Greece and abroad. Their distinctive formation as an extended piano trio—with Dimitris switching from drums to piano and Christos from piano to ney—along with their broad compositional and improvisational abilities, places them among the Greek ensembles that defy stereotypes while creating melodic narratives that resonate with a wide audience.
The members of the trio have been making music together for over 25 years (having first met as fellow students at the Aristotle University), and they share a unique chemistry that is evident in every performance. They have appeared in concerts across Greece, Spain, Portugal, Denmark, Sweden, and Germany.
In this new collaboration with MOYSA, the Youth Symphony Orchestra of the Thessaloniki Concert Hall, and with their new — fourth — album currently in the works, they will present at the Concert Hall’s Plaza new compositions as well as improvisations together with members of the orchestra.
