Sofokleous Duet

Kostis Paleoyiannis (cl. guitar)
Apostolos Livogiannis (lute)

Sofokleous Duet is consisted of Kostis Paleoyiannis (cl. guitar) and Apostolos Livogiannis (lute).  They discover different strands of traditional, fusion jazz and classical music in a repertoire which includes Greek tunes, but also Piazzola and Paco de Lucia’s music, all these based on  the idiosyncrasy and the promiscuous nature of their instruments.

In 2020, they released their first EP album with arrangements for guitar and lute. The Duet’s main pillars are improvisation, the combination of the two instruments to produce a new music sample and an artistic suggestion, using a multi-stylistic repertoire.

They have performed at the International Guitar Festival of Kalamata, at “Cheimonanthos” Festival of the Municipal Conservatory of Volos, at the International Guitar Festival of Paleo Faliro, at “Spiti” Art Bar, at Filippou café classique and more.
