Kharálampos
Goyós (Χαράλαμπος Γωγιός) is a composer based
in Athens, Greece. Born in 1977, he studied music theory with
composers Philippos Tsalahouris and Dimitris Lionis. A graduate of
the Department of Music Studies of the University of Athens, he is
mainly active in the fields of opera and music theatre. His
artistic practice examines the relevance of traditional operatic
codes for contemporary music theatre as well as the viability of
the former in the face of postmodern subjectivity, politics and
thought. As a composer, conductor and musicologist he has
collaborated with numerous important venues and institutions in
Greece and abroad, such as the Greek National Opera, the Athens
Epidaurus Festival, the Athens and Thessaloniki Concert Halls, the
National Theatre of Greece, the Onassis Stegi, the Stavros
Niarchos Foundation Cultural Center, the Neuköllner Oper et al.
His music has won awards in Greece, Cyprus, the UK and the Czech
Republic. He is a co-founder and co-director of the independent
Athens music theatre company The Beggars' Operas. He previously
taught at the Opera Studio of the Municipal and Regional Theatre
of Patras and currently teaches at the Athens Conservatoire and
the Drama School of the National Theatre of Greece.
