Tim wins NTR-Prize Best Performance of ‘Aeriko’, Oskar Back Competition 2018

Tim Brackman won NTR-Prize Best Performance of ‘Aeriko’, composed by Calliope Tsoupaki for the violin Competition Oskar Back 2018. Tim played together with pianist Anne Brackman.

Calliope Tsoupaki about ‘Aeriko’:
AERIKO is a word from the Greek folk tradition and fairy tales, meaning, etherial creature, airly fairy-like celestial being. It’s the first word that comes up to me when I think of my lifetime friend and great philologer Mado Malamou. I dedicate the piece to her for all the poetic thoughts we share together.
