Jazz that gives breath to our biggest dreams!

Radio Show by Irini Konstantinidi.

Telling stories with my songs is something that comes naturally to me. So when I was invited to produce and present a series of radio shows, I knew that with the songs I’d chosen, I would be telling a story. These songs would be expressing the thoughts and dreams that I would like to communicate with the listeners.
Either with their melody or with their lyrics, songs are taking us to a mystical world of fantasy, where we can reach out and touch our dreams! What we see with the eyes of our imagination is a source of inspiration and a means of connecting with our inner selves. It brings us a step closer to our biggest dreams!
