—————————————————————————
In a unique and thought-provoking performance, renowned Greek pianist Alexandros Sarakenidis and visionary Belgian-Greek visual artist Pelly Angelopoulou will take us on a beautiful artistic journey inviting us to reflect on one of the most pressing issue of our time—climate change. A solo piano concert by Alexandros fused with the compelling visual art from Pelly will create a unique experience in the majestic salle of Flagey.
Alexandros Sarakenidis, an accomplished Greek pianist who has made Belgium his home for the past decade, brings his exceptional artistry to the stage. Having completed his studies in Leuven, under the mentorship of the celebrated American pianist Alan Weiss, Alexandros has quickly established himself in the European classical music scene, earning accolades in prestigious national and international competitions. His performances, whether as a soloist or in chamber music settings, are characterized by a depth of expression and technical mastery that captivate audiences across Europe.
Pelly Angelopoulou, is a Belgian-Greek visual artist with a global reputation, having exhibited her work in prominent venues such as the Moscow Biennial, Japanese museums, and the Royal Museum of Art and History in Brussels. Since 2017, she has collaborated with French photographer Axel Leotard on the Π+A projects, a series of visual narratives that explore the complexities of the human condition. Her work, often described as “political novels written by images,” finds a natural synergy with Alexandros’ evocative piano interpretations.
Adding to this immersive experience, Tatjana Poznakova, student and an active member of our Institute, will be presenting her monologue titled “My Rights as Mother Nature” offering a poignant reflection on humanity’s relationship with nature.
In this exceptional collaboration, the stage becomes a canvas where music and visual art collide to awaken our shared consciousness. Alexandros’ dynamic piano interpretations, combined with Pelly’s compelling visual narratives, make this concert a profound reflection on the delicate balance of life on Earth. Together, they remind us that, like The Rite of Spring, nature is resilient, but only if we nurture it.
