Petsalis Vangelis

Vangelis Petsalis was born in Corfu at 4th of July 1965. He took his piano lessons in the Conservatoire of the Philharmonic Society of Corfu. Since he was very young, he had an increasing interest in composing and at the age of 12 he could perform his own compositions among the advanced piano repertoire. He completed his studies in orchestration & composition in Athens in the class of the composer J. Papadatos. He has composed piano works, works for mixed choir & for orchestra, as long as music for theatre.
 
In 1996 the Italian record company Arcadia/Agora published his first Symphony and other orchestral & piano works in a CD with a worldwide distribution, with the participation of the Symphony Orchestra of Bulgaria under the direction of A. Panayotopoulos. The American company of introduction and promotion of records Records International, one of the greatest and most valid on Internet, referring to this CD, commented: This young Greek composer writes lushly tuneful, colourful music in a vivid, neo-romantic vein… A very personal voice and a very enjoyable disc.
