What is "The Bell Project"?
"The Bell Project" is a commissioned project produced by Giannis Koudounas with the purpose to expand the international trumpet repertoire. Giannis will collaborate with 5 well-known composers whose pieces will be performed for the first time at Giannis's final Master's recital at the Royal Holloway University of London in September 2021. Following up the UK and world premier, Giannis will go in the studio and record the pieces.
