at the age of six at the Philharmonic Music Society. In 1998 he gained, with distinction, the soloist’s diploma and the diploma in the art of counterpoint.
For three years he worked with the Russian pianist Valery Sagaidatschny in Athens, and in 2001 he attracted considerable attention when he won first prize at the national piano competition X.O.N in Athens. In 2001 he continued his artistic studies at the Conservatoire de Toulouse in the class of Prof. Thérèse Dussaut, with a scholarship
from the esteemed “A. Onassis” Institute, and in 2004 he graduated successfully with
the “Prix de Perfectionnement”. In 2005 the Greek Academy of Arts in Athens awarded Panayiotis Gogos the distinction of Best Young Soloist.
Since 2006 he has been a resident of the “Cité Internationale des Arts” in Paris.

He has given piano recitals and chamber music concerts in all the major cities of Greece
and has performed in France, Germany and Switzerland. As a soloist he has played
with various orchestras, including the “Santa Maria” Chamber Orchestra of Lucerne,
the Athens Sinfonietta and the Patras Chamber Soloists. He has worked closely
with, among others, the conductors Alois Springer, Dieter Lange and Georg Aravidis.

Panayiotis Gogos has lived in Paris since 2004 and performs regularly at home and abroad.

He receives important impulses for his artistic work from the renowned
pianist & teacher Monique Deschaussées, who herself was strongly influenced by
the artistic and musical ideas of Alfred Cortot and Edwin Fischer.
