Biography

ÎÎ¹Î¬Î½Î½Î·Ï ÎÎ±ÏÎºÏÏÎ¿ÏÎ»Î¿Ï, born on March 18, 1939 in Heraklion, Crete, was a Greek composer. He began his musical journey with lessons in music theory and violin at the local conservatory. In 1956, Markopoulos moved to Athens to study under Yiorgos Sklavos and Joseph Bustidui at the Athens Conservatoire while also pursuing philosophy and sociology at Panteion University. His breakthrough came in 1963 with the release of ÎÎ·ÏÎÎ±Ï. In 1967, he left for London where he notably composed "Zavara-katra-nemia" and engaged with composers Elisabeth Lutyens, Jani Christou, and Iannis Xenakis. Upon returning to Athens in 1969, he founded a distinctive musical ensemble that combined traditional Greek instruments with contemporary elements. His work "The Free Besieged" (1976), based on Dionysios Solomos' poem, was conducted in the Panathenean Stadium and presented internationally. Markopoulos also composed for theatre and cinema, collaborating with directors like Jules Dassin and George Cosmatos. He passed away on June 10, 2023.
