Pater Noster is my first composition. It was composed back in 1999 and got its premiere 24 years later at Megaron Concert Hall of Thessaloniki in 2023. Though the piece is a Christian prayer, I see God in a broader Spinozian way which encompasses everything and everyone. One thing that connects us all, is the need for hope in difficult and despairing times. I hope this prayer will find its path into the hearts of people who are in such need.
