The airport in Rome is in a frenzy because of Kerassidis
A few days ago, after being recognized at the prestigious Giuseppe Sciacca International Prize, Stelios Kerassidis was at the Rome airport, where he discovered a piano in the airport lounge. The 9-year-old musician decided to play to “see what would happen.” The results vindicated him as expected and the video went viral on Facebook and TikTok.
According to his Facebook page, run by his parents, Stelias soon found a second piano and wreaked “EVEN more havoc in the main hall.” Apparently, he impressed passers-by who heard him and went into a frenzy during his performance.
A prodigy who started at the age of three
Kerassidis began playing the piano at the age of three when he took his first formal lesson from his father, a pianist and music teacher. Soon, teachers and the music world recognized the boy’s talent. At the age of 5, he performed in public, and at the age of six – at Carnegie Hall. Since then, Kerassidis has been writing his own music to critical acclaim.
