Starry Night”, I composed this piece years ago, played by Yiannis Hadjiloizou. We were doing a soundcheck in Canada (in 2015 for Yiannis & Aliki’s concert) and I introduced my piece to Yiannis and asked him if he’d like to play it. Of course, being a great friend he jumped at the occasion. @yiannis.hadjiloizou
