Nicolas Economou Biography

Nicolas Economou is one of the most popular and richest Cypriot Composer who was born on August 11, 1953 in Nicosia, Nicosia District, Cyprus.

The turning point in Economou’s life came at the age of ten. It had to be decided whether he would eventually take up music as a career. Again Solon Michaelides, who was following Economou’s progress, suggested that his musical education should be continued outside Cyprus where he would have greater opportunities. In September 1964, after an audition, he was accepted at the Special School of Music of the Tchaikovsky Conservatory in Moscow, a preparatory school for youngsters to enter the Conservatory. In December of that year, in Athens, he won the “Keti Papaioannou” Panhellenic Competition for young musicians up to the age of seventeen. Events themselves were now forming the course of Economou’s life. The following year at the age of twelve, far away from his family and culture, he began his musical studies in Moscow.

A precociously gifted pianist, Economou came to international attention at the 1969 Tchaikovsky Competition when he was 16. After studying at the Tchaikovsky Conservatory in Moscow he eventually moved via Düsseldorf to Munich. From his base there he established himself throughout Europe as a concert pianist, composer, arranger, conductor and organiser of music festivals. In December 1993 Economou died in a tragic car accident in Cyprus.
