Panayotis Leftheris - "Catelouso" was born in 1966 and grew up on the Greek island of Kythera. His deep love of music began in his childhood, when his devotion to orchestral music disturbed the peace and quiet of winter afternoons for his neighbours. He completed his formal music education in The Netherlands, where he studied composition with Luis Adriessen, Gilius van Bergeijk, Clarence Barlow, Diderik Wagenaar and Martijn Padding. Afterwards he decided to return to his home village where, besides composing, he gives music lessons, organises concerts on the island, and used to run an innovative yearly “Music Workshop” to which young musicians and composers come from all over Greece. He has established the label “KYTHERIOS MUSIC”, enabling him to carry out independent productions. The energy needed to carry out these multifarious tasks, he insists, is derived from the landscapes and people of his island home.
