Eleni Karaindrou is a distinguished Greek composer, renowned for her deep and evocative music that has been widely acclaimed both in her homeland and internationally. Born in the mountain village of Teichio in Greece in 1941, Karaindrou developed a passion for music at an early age. Her journey as a composer is intimately entwined with the world of cinema and theater, where her work found a harmonious resonance. She has nurtured long-standing collaborations with eminent filmmakers, most notably with the revered Greek director Theo Angelopoulos, until his death in 2012.

Karaindrou's music is characterized by its lyrical, melancholic, and often hauntingly beautiful melodies that capture the essence of the Greek soul and landscape. Her most recent works, such as "Karaindrou: Tous des oiseaux" and "Karaindrou: Encounter," continue to exhibit her signature style that combines classical orchestration with folk elements and an unmistakable Mediterranean sentimentality. Her extensive body of work includes not only film scores but also compositions for theater and television, as showcased in collections like "Music and Songs for the Theatre" and "Music For Greek Tv Series (Original Recordings 1976-1989)." Eleni Karaindrou remains a prolific force in the world of music, her compositions serving as a bridge between the dramatic arts and the evocative power of sound.
