Dr. Michael Scimeca
At age five, George began playing the piano sitting on the piano bench next to his mother, a classically trained pianist, watching and listening. One day, he started playing along with her by ear, and he was hooked. Eventually George performed at talent shows in his elementary schools, and on weekends, his father took him to the piano store at the local mall. Crowds would gather around to watch, perhaps this was an early indication performing was destined to be in George’s future.

“Faces of the Past, Behind the Doors of Patmos”
Produced by George Skaroulis with music by George Skaroulis
Traveling back in time, this documentary features the historical photographs of Patmos through the eyes of George's grandfather Theologos Patronis, born in Patmos in 1898. George's vision for this documentary was to collaborate with his grandfather to bring their generational art forms of time together full circle. As a pianist and composer, George also shares his grandfather’s passion for photography. Combining their photos, faces of the past appear to be peering through the thresholds of the colorful old doors that grace the island, each door with its own story to tell. The images are gently woven together through George's piano version of Tyxero Asteri (K. Bhta) which appears on his latest album “Dreams of Greece” (2024). Patmos has been a vital sea of inspiration for George's soul, spirit and music.
"It has been an honor and a joy to follow in my grandfather’s footsteps, reconnect and honor his legacy."
