Piandaemonium
A loving group of musicians fights the pianist’s solitude and creates a piano orchestra, attempting to redefine the traditional sound of the piano in a new context. Piandaemonium, an ensemble unique in its kind, was founded in 1998 at Domna Evnouchidou’s initiative and originally consisted of herself and eleven former students of hers.
In its almost 30 years of active presence, Piandaemonium has premiered works by Greek composers written specifically for the ensemble, has presented arragements of great symphonic works, as well as original works in a variety of pianistic combinations. Some of the composers that already wrote works for the ensemble are: Nikolas Anadolis, Antonis Anissegos, Theodore Antoniou (♱), Stylianos Dimou, Dimitris Economou, Giorgos Koumendakis, Vassos Nicolaou, Christos Papageorgiou, Christos Samaras, Evis Sammoutis, Lina Tonia, Savvas Tsiligiridis, George Tsontakis.
The Ensemble has performed with great success at the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, at the Pallace Theater in Athens, repeatedly at full house concerts in the Thessaloniki Concert Hall (2013, 2017, 2023), at the Little Theater of Ancient Epidaurus (Athens and Epidaurus Festival), at ‘Mousikotropo’ Festival, and at the Greek National Opera within the context of the 2017 International Piano Festival. In open air, Piandaemonium concertized at the Ancient Theatre of Filippi and the Hellenistic Theatre of Dion in 2023 and 2025 respectively, and closed 2024 with 3 sold out concerts at the “Parnassos” concert hall in Athens. In 2026, the Ensemble performed at the Athens Concert Hall in the Piano Days festival, while it presented Axion Esti by M. Theodorakis in Larisa and Thessaloniki.
