Guest Classical Guitarist on the Thalassa Mixes
I am very excited to announce that “The Garden I long for” will feature classical guitarist Kostas Grigoreas - An eminent member of the Greek guitar fraternity, and one of the most serious figures in the field of classical guitar. Kostas studied guitar and theory on a British Council scholarship at Royal Northern College of Music. Two of his teachers were Gordon Crosskey , and John Williams some of the worlds most prominent classical guitarists. Well at RNCM Kostas also studied with the Pianist and conductor George Hadjinikos one of the most inspirational musicians Kostas has met.
As a distinguished composer and performer Kostas has worked and collaborated with various singers including Savina Yannatou, Nena Venetsanou, Anna Parlapanou and Aliki Kayaloglou. His works for voice and guitar can be heard on TAR radio - a highquality online musical magazine based around guitar.

I originally met Kostas because I tried to order his CD after being exposed to some samples of his music. Well the servers were not working to well so my payment never went through etc. So I said to myself – I am going to write to the webmaster so they know what is happening. I ended up getting an E-mail from Kostas. I complimented him on his music and I then began to complain, whine and preach that my generation wants things instantly. Kostas wrote back and offered to send me an autographed CD himself which calmed me down. Hence our friend ship began.
The point of this short little story though is this - You can now purchase Kostas’s Music INSTANTLY here.
