Stefanos Tsialis is the new Director of A.S.O.


 
Mr. Stefanos Tsialis has been appointed as the new Director of the Athens State Orchestra by the Minister of Culture and Sports, Mr. Panos Panagiotopoulos, after the expiration of Mr. Vassilis Christopoulos’ term of office on May 9th 2014.

Following the announcement of his appointment Mr. Tsialis said: "I am greatly honored and pleased to take up the Artistic Direction of the Athens State Orchestra. The notion of serving my homeland after many years of work abroad fills me with pride and sense of responsibility. I take over the Orchestra on a very good level after the significant accomplishment of the outgoing Artistic Director. I hope that, with the support of the Management Board of the A.S.O.’s Special Fund for Concert Organization, my colleagues in A.S.O. –musicians and all other officials – and our friends from the audience, I will contribute with new ideas to further promotion and progress of the first orchestra of Greece".
