Thodoris Panagopoulos

"TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN _________________________ Dear Sir/Madam, I have known Theodoros for many years both as my student and as a professional musician and I had the privilege to see his development and progress throughout the years. Apart from being an exceptional guitarist, he is a true artist in a general sense. He is very creative and his determination and devotion to music is truly remarkable. Theodoros is the founder, teacher and conductor of the mixed Choir of Pyrgos in Peloponnese, from 2001 until now. The choir has a big repertoire of Greek and universal music and has performed all over Greece including the performances at the Opening and Closing Ceremonies of the Paralympics Games in Athens 2004 and at the Theater of Herodes Atticum in Athens in 2013. During the period 1999-2009, Theodoros was the Executive Director of the International Guitar Festivals in Volos and Naxos, both well known in Greece and abroad. He is a professional Editor of Finale and Sibelius Notation Program and many of his works have been published to date. Theodoros is a successful Artistic Director whom I fully recommend. As a person he is one of rare ethics, responsible and hard-working, generous with his colleagues and students. He has a tremendous gift with children and a rare ability to connect with both students and colleagues. I am very confident that he will be a great asset to your highly acclaimed institution. Yours faithfully, Loucia Samourkas"
