Stelios is a violinist that is active as a solo performer, orchestral player, conductor, teacher and a lecturer.

Stelios is a versatile violinist, accomplished both in performance and the academic field. At the age of seventeen he entered the Royal Academy of Music, London, and gained his BMus and MMus in performance. In 2012 he completed his PhD at Canterbury Christ Church University on Schoenberg’s violin concerto, exploring the concept of the “Idea” and how it informed his interpretation of the concerto through music analysis, recording analysis and performance practice.

Currently, he freelances as an orchestral musician with orchestras including Southern Sinfonia, Southern Pro Musica, London Mozart Players, Philharmonia, Chamber Festival Orchestra and English Festival Orchestra.

He is a keen chamber music player, and is a founding member of Shonorities Ensemble, a group that specialises in staged performances that fuses Eastern with Western music traditions. He also founded and performs with the Lunaire Quartet. He has given numerous solo and chamber music recitals in the UK, Japan, Greece, Italy and has played in many festivals including Haendel Festival, Canterbury Festival, Brighton Festival, Sounds New Festival and Pro-Arte Festival (Tokyo, Japan). 

He is an Assitant Lecturer in Music Performance at University of Kent, and an Associate Tutor at Canterbury Christ Church University (CCCU). Since 2008 he has lectured in both Universities in a wide range of subjects such as Music Analysis, Music Theory, Music Aesthetics, Musicology and Music History. He also teaches violin and viola at Simon Langton Grammar School for Boys and St Edmund’s School Canterbury.
