Elena Kakaliagou is a Greek-Austrian french-horn player and performer living in Berlin. Αfter her studies in classical music in Greece, Austria and Finnland, and inspired by new, folk and experimental music, Elena developed her own language on the french-horn; lyrical and mellow, angry as a wild animal or a stormy sea, calm as the wind or the soft rain. Elena can be heard on more than twenty musical albums, among others the ones of her duo Nabelóse, her trio Zinc & Copper, solo, and plenty of collaborations of free, experimental, composed and new music, as well as film and theater. She is an active member of the free improv scene of Berlin and plays with zeitkratzer and Stefan Schultze Large Ensemble, next to various new music ensembles.
