NOTE: I am originally Greek living in Norway most of my adult life, where I have also tried to spread my culture to my new homeland, alongside my other classical work. This has resulted in several both choral and instrumental arrangements of existing Greek music, as well as compositions on Greek subjects, many available on SHEETMUSICPLUS.
