String Quartet “Warrior” – Program Notes
After many years, I met an old friend and fellow painter of my father on Facebook. Last time I saw her in person was almost thirty years, I was young and beginning to play the bouzouki, my first musical instrument I ever studied. While e mailing to each other, she wrote to me “I am sure you can make it, you have the DNA”, referring to my father who lived for twenty seven years in dialysis before he passed away. Then I remembered again that he was a “fighter”, a person who never gave up with the problems and the complications of his disease. “Yes, maybe she is right; I never gave up so far too, dealing with so many problems since I came here in U.S. In real life, we have to be warriors, maybe not because we are heroes, but maybe we don’t have other option in front of us. Additionally, this piece, which is a tribute to Pontian Hellenism, residing around Black Sea for centuries, and having war – like dances in their folk tradition, describes their own war of independence and carries a symbolic meaning of our life struggles as humans with a specific quote: “Never give up”
