When Paul Avgerinos graduated from the Peabody
Conservatory of Music in 1980, as a full scholarship
honors student, he had already performed as a
bassist with Isaac Stern, Jean Pierre Rampal,
The Beaux Arts Trio, Baryshnikov and many other
great classical artists. He also has won scholarships
to play and study at music festivals in Tanglewood,
Aspen, Grand Teton, Taos, and Spoleto (Italy).
After graduation, Paul served as principal bass
of several major symphony orchestras around the
world, and gave solo recitals as well.
Expanding into more popular genres, Avgerinos
toured as a bassist with Charles Aznavour, Liza
Minelli, and the jazz legend Buddy Rich. Seeking
to further his original composition and develop
his childhood passion for electronic music, Paul
built Studio Unicorn, a comprehensive digital/analog
recording studio, in 1984. Eight solo CDs in the
New Age genre followed, including Muse of the
Round Sky on the Hearts of Space label. Muse was
nominated for a Grammy and is played on more than
2,000 radio stations around the world in addition
to syndicated shows such as Music from the Hearts
of Space and John Diliberto's Echoes. Two thirty
¬minute features with the latter are added
to his credits along with his many other radio
interviews. Paul's music is currently being played
on Sirius & XM Satellite radio as well as
Music Choice Cable . He has appeared on fourteen
sampler CDs and as a guest artist on albums by
Joanie Madden, Faruk Tekbilek, Joaquin Lievano,
Brian Keane and others.
Paul records and produces many popular albums
as well and has worked with artists as diverse
as Jewel, Richie Havens, Run DMC, and the Celtic
Tenors. Avgerinos always makes time for scoring
and has worked on over 100 film, TV, and cable
projects for HBO, PBS, and Lifetime, among others.
Paul's work on Peter Kater's Red Moon earned A
2004 Grammy Nomination. Paul's new album GNOSIS
placed #1 on the New Age & World Radio Chart
. Keeping busy creating original music for a variety
of interesting and rewarding projects is a way
of life.
Currently, he lives and works in Redding, Connecticut,
where the deer pass by his studio windows and
the hawks and eagles give inspiration from above.
