Expanded Piano Art and Technology | Stavros Gasparatos | TEDxPatras
What happens when the piano becomes more than an instrument?Composer, Sound Artist & Curator Stavros Gasparatos took the TEDxPatras stage to share Expanded Piano II—a hybrid performance where acoustic piano, sensors, and live electronics blend into a new form of musical storytelling. Rooted in improvisation, uncertainty, and real-time interaction, the piece pushes the boundaries of art and technology.

From 2017 to 2020 he directed the Transmedia Lab of the Greek National Opera; from 2019 to 2022 he was a member of the Board of Directors of the Athens Festival.
