Konstantinos Destounis (b.1991 in Athens) is regarded asone of the most prominent Greek artists of his generation. He is a prizewinner in many international piano competitions, most notably ‘Grand Prix Maria Callas’ in Athens, ‘Southern Highlands’ in Canberra, ‘Giorgos Thimis’ in Thessaloniki and the Bremen European Piano Competition. As the winner of Greece’s national competition, he represented his country at ‘Eurovision Young Musicians’ in Vienna.

His performing career has led him to prestigious venues across Europe and Australia, such as Royal Albert Hall and St John’s Smith Square in London, Opera ‘La Fenice’ in Venice, Llewellyn Hall in Canberra, Glocke Saal in Bremen, Athens Megaron, Thessaloniki Megaron. As a soloist he has performed with the Bremen Philharmonic Orchestra, Canberra Symphony Orchestra, Athens State Orchestra, Thessaloniki State Orchestra, Greek Radio National Orchestra, UK Young Musicians Symphony Orchestra, Murcia Symphony Orchestra and many more.

After graduating from the Hellenic Conservatory and the University of Macedonia in Greece, Konstantinos went on to receive a Master’s degree at the Mozarteum University in Salzburg and an Artist Diploma at the Royal College of Music in London (Professor D Alexeev, I Jones, A Zolinsky). He is currently a doctoral candidate of the Royal College of Music, supported by an Eleanor and Gary Brass Award. His research focuses on the piano works by the renowned Greek composer, Theodore Antoniou, with whom he has a close collaboration.

Konstantinos’ world première recording of Antoniou’s complete piano works will be released in March by Naxos’ series ‘Grand Piano’.
