THRESHOLDS

Sacred Moments on the Edge of Life
 

AFTER 15 YEARS, TWO GREEKS REUNITE THROUGH ART & MUSIC

More than 15 years ago, Evangelia Phillippidis and George Skaroulis met as neighboring artist vendors at the Columbus Ohio Greek Festival. They immediately clicked, became friends, and discovered a natural creative connection through their shared Greek heritage and love of the arts.

Although they only occasionally communicated on social media,  fifteen years later, they reunited at the same place their friendship had first begun to collaborate for : THRESHOLDS – Sacred Moments on the Edge of Life.
 

Created by artist Evangelia Phillippidis and Argerie Vasilakes, THRESHOLDS is an immersive exhibition exploring loss, memory, transition, and the profound passages of life. The  art exhibition is accompanied by music performed and curated by pianist and composer George Skaroulis, who created a soundtrack to the visual journey. The exhibition premiered at the annual Columbus, Ohio Greek Festival, September 4–7, 2026, bringing their two creative worlds together once again.

At the heart of the musical collection is George Skaroulis’s new original single, “Thresholds,” inspired by Evangelia’s artwork and the emotional themes of the exhibition.
 

What began more than 15 years ago as a friendship between two neighboring Greek Festival artists has come full circle—through an unexpected reunion and a shared belief in the power of art and music to express what words sometimes cannot.

Some moments are too profound for words. Sometimes, art and music can say what words cannot.

The soundtrack to THRESHOLDS is now available on Amazon, iTunes and Spotify, including the new single “Thresholds”. The cover art by Evangelia is the centerpiece of the exhibit entitled “Holy Spirit Ascending.”

Hear George's New Dreams of Greece Interview by
Dr. Michael Scimeca

00:00 / 15:11

At age five, George began playing the piano sitting on the piano bench next to his mother, a classically trained pianist, watching and listening.  One day, he started playing along with her by ear, and he was hooked.  Eventually George performed at talent shows in his elementary schools, and on weekends, his father took him to the piano store at the local mall.  Crowds would gather around to watch, perhaps this was an early indication performing was destined to be in George’s future.
 

DIVE IN to George's new CD Dreams of Greece, released June 1, 2024. 

​

​After 5 years of production, this album’s compositions are softly woven together to tell a story that simulates the sights and gentle sounds of an "Endless Summer" in Greece.
In addition to his 13 new originals, George shines his light on these classic songs:

“The Land of Make Believe” Chuck Mangione,
“Deborah’s Theme” Ennio Morricone,
"The Windmills of Your Mind" Michel Legrand, and “Tyxero Asteri”  K. Bhta (Maestro in Blue).

 

Dreams of Greece is now available streaming everywhere.
 

Running Time: 1 hour, 9 minutes

Genre : Classical Crossover / Piano

​

To date, George has released 19 CDs and much of his music is used by the healing arts industry including massage therapists and spas around the world, teachers, and romantics alike.

Premiering July 25, 2024 - Aegean Film Festival, Patmos Greece 

Nomads Shorts Category
“Faces of the Past, Behind the Doors of Patmos”

Produced by George Skaroulis with music by George Skaroulis

 

Traveling back in time, this documentary features the historical photographs of Patmos through the eyes of George's grandfather Theologos Patronis, born in Patmos in 1898. George's vision for this documentary was to collaborate with his grandfather to bring their generational art forms of time together full circle. As a pianist and composer, George also shares his grandfather’s passion for photography. Combining their photos, faces of the past appear to be peering through the thresholds of the colorful old doors that grace the island, each door with its own story to tell.  The images are gently woven together through George's piano version of Tyxero Asteri (K. Bhta) which appears on his latest album “Dreams of Greece” (2024). Patmos has been a vital sea of inspiration for George's soul, spirit and music.

 

"It has been an honor and a joy to follow in my grandfather’s footsteps, reconnect and honor his legacy."
