The beautiful and nearly acoustically perfect Herbst Theater in San Francisco was the venue for the Bay Area piano recital debut of Alexandros Kapelis.

He is on a world tour sponsored by the Greek government presenting classical music inspired by Greek mythology. Upcoming performances are with the New York Philharmonic, Kennedy Center's Terrace Theater and recitals in Chicago and Montreal, and then on to Europe.

His artistry is mature, passionate and skillful, but he also betrays a delightful playfulness such as his interpretation of "For a Little White Seashell" by M. Hadzikakis. He proved he has mastered Debussy, Rameau, Kostantinidis and Clementi as well, and finished the recital with a virtuoso performance of "Etudes-Tableaux" by Rachmaninoff, which is not an easy task.

Bravo, Alexandros!
