Aspasia Nasopoulou, a Greek composer living and working in Amsterdam since 2002, is actively involved in the contemporary art creation in Europe. Her music is varied in nature, ranging from solo instrumental to orchestral pieces and from stage and dance pieces to vocal music. It has an abstract narrative quality that interplays with its theatrical dimension. Nasopoulou is inspired by eternal ideas and concerns, drawing equally from ancient texts (Sappho, Euripides) and the hyperrealism of N. Egonopoulos, and from the medieval poetry of Christine de Pizan and Troubadour, to the contemporary thoughts of Saburo Teshigawara and Oscar Hahn's poems. Her works are composed for unconventional combinations of both western and non-western instruments, presenting an authentic tableau where her own tradition melts together with western tradition and modernity. Nasopoulou has been involved in projects of incorporating media from different arts, in collaboration with choreographers, directors, writers, and visual artists, including Ina Stockem, Marina Peuranen, Oscar Hahn, Dan Albertson, Tamuna Chabashvili and Adnan Hasovic and she is focused the last years on the language/meaning's relation and combination with music researching the use of theatrical tools as well. She studied Piano (diploma with honors from the Conservatory of Piraeus, Greece) Composition (diploma with honors from the "N.Skalkottas" Conservatory, prof. M. Travlos) and Geology (Bachelor of Science from the National University of Athens, Greece). She continued her studies in Composition (with a scholarship from the Propondis Foundation) at the Conservatorium van Amsterdam (Bachelor and Master's degrees) with Wim Henderickx and Fabio Nieder (specialization: contemporary music in combination with contemporary dance).
