Leftheris Kordis

Lefteris Kordis, as well as the music he writes, is truly ‘worldwide’. In addition to the aforementioned genre masteries (Jazz, Greek Folk), Kordis brings a musicologist’s ear for the un-tempered harmonies of ancient Byzantine chant. Not to mention, a couple-hundred Sundays experience as the organist/pianist at the Antioch Revelation Baptist Church. Given that broad variety of musical languages fluently spoken, one understands his recruitment by Danilo Pérez to teach at Berklee’s Global Jazz Institute, and his recent appointment to design and co-direct the hybrid “Jazz and Mediterranean Music” Master’s joint program between the Ionian University and the Sibelius Academy-Uniarts.
