Biography

Alexios Lizos is a pianist, piano teacher, chamber music performer and accompanist, born on 1986 in Thessaloniki, Greece and currently residing in Leuven, Belgium. Being an active solo and ensemble artist, he is also working as an accompanist for conservatoria of Flemish Brabant. In parallel, through his workshop "Pianoles Leuven" he aims to form his own piano practice methodology alongside with his students, based on a neuropsychological perspective. Alexios is a holder of a Masters degree in Piano Performance "magna cum laude", after studying with prof. Alan Weiss in LUCA School of Arts - Campus Lemmensinstituut.

He received his piano diploma from the State Conservatory of Thessaloniki in the class of Zoe Samsarelou with Distinction, and he graduated from the Music Studies Department of the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki with an extended Bachelors degree in Musicology/Music Pedagogy with Honours. He, then, further developed his piano skills under the mentorship of Nikolaos Zafranas for two years. Furthermore, he studied close to prof. Jan Vermeulen specializing on pianoforte and historical interpretation.

Interested in ensemble music, since 2011 he performs as a cello-piano duo with Dimitrios Karagiannakidis. He is part of the Greek pianistic ensemble Temperamentum.

Alexios had the opportunity to actively participate in seminars and special piano courses with Cyprien Katsaris, Naum Grubert, Ana Mirabela Dina, Janna & Katerina Polyzoides, Daniel Rivera, Domna Evnouchidou, Pietro De Maria etc..

He is a proud holder of several scholarships and awards throughout his pianistic journey and would like to thank the private and public trustees Gertrud Aigner, Bart Pattyn, and Austrian-Greek Society of Graz for their generous help and support.

Ensembles

Duo Plegma - Dimitrios Karagiannakidis (cello) & Alexios Lizos (piano)

The collaboration of Dimitrios Karagiannakidis (GR) and Alexios Lizos (GR) started on 2011, as a result of a common need for an exchange of opinions on a shared musical quest. Their repertoire covers different eras, performing compositions from the classical period till the 21st century, presenting pieces of Greek composers at first performance. They constitute an "ensemble in residence" of the "Pelion Festival" since the summer of 2011. The duo name "Plegma" derives from the Greek word "πλέγμα" which describes a system of relations or actions which are intersecting and interdependent.

Temperamentum

Temperamentum is an ensemble of a varying number of pianists for two pianos, created by prof. Zoe Samsarelou in 2004. The steady core of the ensemble’s members is constituted by graduates of her piano class and its repertoire is focusing especially on pieces of Greek composers.
