Transcription Ensemble

7th Festival of Classical Music
Transcription Ensemble

The Transcription Ensemble was formed in 2007 by Yorgos Kandylidis, Christos Grimpas and Nikolaos Zafranas, three successful soloists who belong in the new generation of highly regarded Greek musicians, enjoying frequent public performances with solo recitals and chamber music concerts in Greece and many other European countries. Through its performances, the Ensemble aspires to present celebrated chamber music masterpieces alongside the considerable repertoire of works transcribed for small ensemble, which fulfilled the need of audiences to be introduced to great compositions before the widespread use of recordings.
