The 9-year-old piano virtuoso became the subject of international media such as Reuters and CBS News, Stelios Kerasidis, who after playing "Waltz of Isolation" about two years ago to encourage people to stay home in the midst of a lockdown, this time performed a composition about the war in Ukraine.
"I could no longer see so much pain and so many people suffering. My weapons are the piano and notes and with this piece, I wanted to send a musical message of peace to the whole world," the 9-year-old pianist said of the composition titled "Anti-War Etude."
And he continued: "I know it's not easy to change the world, but it's worth trying. We children have a right to peace. Please stop ths war."
It should be noted that Stelios Kerasidis, who has been playing piano since the age of 3, won first prize in the 2018 Grand Prize Virtuoso competition and gave a recital at Vienna's historic Musikverein. In the same year, he was awarded the "Special Youth Prize" at the world competition De Bach au Jazz, while becoming the youngest Greek musician to play at Carnegie Hall in New York. In April 2019, he gave a recital at the famous Royal Albert Hall in London.
Since the age of 4, when he received his first prize, he has been sweeping Greece and the world.
