From Film
to Tango

Dimitris Soukaras and the virtuoso Accordion & Bandoneon player Giancarlo Palena met at the Royal Academy of Music in London during their studies. Their common passion for Astor Piazzolla’s music brought them together in creating their duo in 2019. Palena Soukaras Duo has appeared in many music festivals across Italy, Greece the UK and Canada. They have performed at Emilia Romagna Festival, Sheerbrooke Music Festival, Patras International Festival, MUΣA Concert Series, Heraklion Cultural Center Concert Series and others. They have performed as soloists with Orchestra Filarmonica Campana, Oradea State Filarmonica, Patras String Orchestra, Academica Athens Orchestra. Their current touring program is an Hommage to film and tango music; pays a tribute to three great composers that marked the music history of their native countries: Ennio Morricone, Astor Piazzolla and Mikis Theodorakis.
