Ioannis, based in Vienna, works mostly in Austria, Germany, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Slovenia, Hungary, Croatia, Serbia, Greece, but also in other countries.

For seventeen years, he served as Assistant Concertmaster of the National Opera in Ljubljana, Slovenia. As a highly educated and experienced string player, he pays a lot of attention and interest to the matter of intonation. Always sensitive to the player’s perspective, he is deeply aware of the importance of playing a well-regulated and well-tuned instrument.
