Costas Fotopoulos is a passionate and accomplished pianist and composer who has studied at the Royal Academy of Music (London), the Juilliard School (New York) and most recently the Royal College of Music (London).
As a talented and committed performer, Costas has for many years now worked as an improvising silent film pianist, accompanying silent films at festivals and screenings throughout the UK, Europe and North America.
In 2002 Costas completed his Master’s degree in the composition of music for film, television and multimedia at the Royal College of Music, passing with Distinction. Since then he has spent time working as an assistant to film composer Trevor Jones, as well as composing original music for British short films and musical theatre.
Costas continues to expand his portfolio of concert compositions: his Three Impressions (for accordion and piano) was premiered at St. Martin-in-the-Fields on Christmas Eve 2004; and his Elegiac Romance (for cello and piano) has been performed at the Wigmore Hall.
2009 will see the release of Costas’ debut solo album featuring Rachmaninov and including one of Costas’ own compositions.
Costas is keen to develop all aspects of his career, and continues to expand his recital and concerto repertoire to complement his work as a composer and improvising pianist.
