...creating music is the way
to bypass reasonand penetrate
into the very core of yourself...
"MΟΝΑ is a technically and conceptually challenging work for solo cello that literally brings life to the listener. As a performer it took time to understand translating the mechanics into musical expression. This was an incredibly rewarding process, and the composer's input and feedback was invaluable"
- Laura Ritchie, talking about premiering MONA for solo violoncello
"We first played Dimitris’ music a few years ago. In a short space of time we were fascinated, enjoying the wonderful sounds the composer pulls out of strings. The music is thrilling, well structured and composed with great clarity. We were immediately enthralled and have performed it on several occasions since. His string writing is often very high, creating a manic effect along with fast rhythmical thematic material. It has had a wonderfully positive reaction with all audiences and of course with us!”
- Joanna Lewis, Koehne quartet, talking about Erinyes/ 2nd string quartet.
"The composer Dimitris Mousouras honoured the Piano Duo Marantos-Ossberger by dedicating his work "Hydra" to myself and Harald. Due to our preparation for its first presentation in Greece, we both were very inspired by the diversity of the musical elements enhanced and it brought us in musical worlds allowing our Piano Duo to express a big variety of sounds. Performing it was everytime a pleasure!"
