Dimitrios-Nikolaos Stavrou is a Greek composer, born in 1991 in Athens. He studied piano with Dimitra Economou and music theory and composition with Ioannis. Since 2008, he has been a member of the music group Enarjia. In 2009, he entered the Department of Musicology at the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens. Since 2019, he has been studying composition at the Hochschule für Musik Freiburg with Alexander Grebtschenko.

 

His work encompasses both instrumental music and electroacoustic music with live electronics and sound installations. His ideas are often influenced by elements of old Western music as well as the folk and religious music culture of his country but always filtered through the prism of his personal perception as part of a modern world.

 

He is interested in exploring unusual timbres and new forms, which he filters through geometry and architecture and through the use of symbols, attempting to achieve a character of mysticism and ritual in his works.

 

(His works have been performed by various ensembles such as Ensemble New Babylon, Ensemble Aventure, Kompass Ensemble, and the Ensemble for Contemporary Music of the Musikhochschule Freiburg.)
