Ariana Abedini’s name resonates across the globe among music aficionados, particularly those enchanted by her pioneering “I CAN PLAY THAT TOO” series.
With a classical foundation and an inherent spirit of exploration, she intricately melds classical, cinematic, and video game music, fashioning a distinctive and enthralling auditory voyage.
Hailing from Greece, Ariana embarked on her musical odyssey at ten, initiating her first piano lesson. Her innate passion for music swiftly surfaced, propelling her to refine her piano prowess and achieve her diploma with distinction.
At 15, Ariana made her entrée onto the public stage, steadily carving out her unique musical identity and garnering acclaim for her exceptional talent.
In addition to her musical acumen, Ariana proudly holds a degree in Psychology from Aristotle University of Thessaloniki and an MSc in Clinical Psychology. Her fascination with human behaviour and musical expertise coalesced to give rise to the “Psychology in Music” Masterclass. This pioneering program not only empowers individuals to unleash their inner creativity but also motivates them to pursue their aspirations through the transformative power of music, igniting the passion of the next generation of musicians.
Ariana’s love for delving into diverse cultures and their musical traditions and her ardour for travel profoundly inform her work. This global insight spurred her creation of the “I CAN PLAY THAT TOO” series. This collaborative endeavour has brought together pianists from around the world to interpret different segments of the same piece. Her innovative spirit and creativity have further been honoured with two esteemed awards for creative writing in Greece.
Ariana’s artistic journey stands as a testament to her unwavering commitment, limitless creativity, and relentless pursuit of musical excellence. Her dedication to her craft, evident in her performances and educational endeavours, serves as a wellspring of inspiration for aspiring musicians, educators, and music aficionados alike, eliciting a deep sense of admiration for her steadfast devotion.
