Dimitra Lazaridou-Chatzigoga

Dimitra Lazaridou-Chatzigoga (Greece) is a musician and a linguist based in London. She is active in experimental and improvised music since 2006.

Her approach focuses on the interplay between spontaneity and elaborate techniques. She has performed in Spain, Greece, France, Slovenia, Germany, Sweden and the UK and has played solo, in long-term collaborations or in occasional formations with Jennifer Allum, Angharad Davies, Axel Dörner, Ferran Fages, Martin Küchen, Eddie Prévost, Henrik Olsson, Birgit Ulher and Daichi Yoshikawa among others.
