Eminent Greek concert pianist Dino Mastroyiannis, whom the legendary living Greek composer Mikis Theodorakis praised as “a true Apostle of his music”, has pursued a career of remarkable diversity. Regarded for his “rich and multi-faceted technique”, “perfect feeling for rhythm” and “rare expressiveness”, he has appeared in such prestigious concert halls as Bridgewater Hall in Manchester, England; Glinka Hall of the St. Petersburg Philharmonic; Ateneul Român in Bucharest; Rudolfinum in Prague; Lisinski in Zagreb; Big Concert Hall of the Presidential Symphony Orchestra of Ankara (Turkey); Big Concert Hall named after “Salikh Saidashev” in Kazan (Russia); and the “Sala Bulgaria” in Sofia, to name a few. He has performed in many international festivals and in historic places, including the ‘Bertramka’ Mozart museum in Prague, the Ancient Odeon Theatre of Herodes Atticus as part of the Athens International Festival (“Hellenic Festival”), and in April 2010 at the Montenegrin National Theatre as part of the 9th International ‘A Tempo’ Festival, of which the newspaper ‘Dan’ wrote: “impressive how a ‘simple’ piece in the hands of a virtuoso could become truly a work of art which persons of all ages find interesting… This pianist is well known as ‘the Music Ambassador of Greece’. We would also add that this title is rightly chosen.”
