Kontaxakis - ivanovich

kontaxakis-ivanovich

Michalis Kontaxakis and Dejan Ivanovich started their collaboration with the first recital in April 2004 (Athens) which contained works by Händel, Sor, Rodrigo and Salvador.

At that time, the idea to form a professional chamber music ensemble seemed almost impossible due to the distance (Athens and Lisbon residents) and the difficulty of having regular rehearsals in order to maintain the professional level required by their criteria.

Since the beginning, the main focus of their interpretations tends to be the profound chamber music communication which underlines the music expression and character together with genuine sound timing equality.
