Clarinet – Nikos Tassis

Biography

Born in Athens to parents from Ioannina, my first encounter with the traditional clarinet began at the age of ten.

I studied under musicians such as V. Chaligiannis, G. Brachopoulos, and S. Kapsalis. From a young age, I worked in nightclubs in Athens and collaborated with renowned musicians and singers from the traditional genre and beyond, including Kitsakis, Pagona, Pyrgaki, Tzimas, Kyritsis, Konstantinou, among others.

I have participated in several recording projects and performed at social and cultural events around the world, including gatherings of the Greek diaspora.

Since 2004, I have been living and working in Ioannina, sharing my art through teaching at conservatories.
