Abstract or Summary:

This paper explores the life and work of Giorgos Sicilianos, a seminal figure in post-war Greek classical music. Sicilianos is celebrated for his extensive and varied compositions, which reflect his lifelong aesthetic pursuits and creative engagement with his era. The paper also examines his significant contributions to Greek cultural institutions and his advocacy for rationalisation and development in the arts. Through a detailed analysis of his compositions and writings, the study highlights Sicilianos’ commitment to modernism, his philosophical and aesthetic values, and his enduring influence on contemporary music.
