George Nazos

In 1881 he went to Munich, German Empire to study piano and advanced theory, returning to Greece in 1886.

In 1891, Nazos was appointed musical director of the Athens Conservatory, which he reorganized by hiring foreign teachers.

In his field, he dealt with scientific research and the collection of Greek traditional songs from the Peloponnesus and Crete.

This research work was published in Athens under the title of Peninta dimódi ásmata Peloponnisou kai Kritis (Fifty traditional songs from Peloponnesus and Crete).

Nazos was a dedicated professional musician, and his contribution to conservatories, schools, orchestras, and theatre was significant.
