At just 25, Alexandros Kyriakopoulos has already performed on stages that many musicians spend decades hoping to reach. Yet for him, music is not an achievement—it is a way to understand the world and connect with others.
Born in Athens and raised on Kythera, he began studying piano, theory and choir at the island’s Odeion. Growing up between Greek and Australian cultural influences through his parents, Metaxia (Sia) Poulos and Dimitrios Kyriakopoulos, he developed an early appreciation for artistic expression.
By the time he moved to Athens for high school, Alexandros was already committed to serious musical study. Under the guidance of renowned pianist Dimitri Toufexis, he earned a Diploma in Piano with Distinction from the Greek Ministry of Culture at just 18.
In 2020 he entered the Boston Conservatory on scholarship, with additional support from the A.G. Leventis Foundation and the Aroney Trust. There, he expanded his repertoire and performed widely, appearing in Boston, New York, Puerto Rico, Italy, Spain, Australia, and cities across Greece.
For Alexandros, classical music is a living language that sparks imagination and emotional depth. “I’m not interested in just playing accurately,” he says. “What matters is creating that moment when something shifts inside the listener.”
His belief that “art is a structural element of society” shapes both his performances and his teaching, through which he encourages audiences and students alike to view the piano not as a duty but as a space for freedom and discovery.
