About Theodoros Tsinias

Passionate musician, composer, and multidisciplinary artist dedicated to crafting resonant, boundary-crossing work—whether on stage, in the classroom, or through immersive multimedia projects. With a Bachelor of Music (Magna Cum Laude) from The City University of New York and an Associate in Arts (Honors) from LaGuardia Community College, I fuse technical precision with emotional depth to engage audiences, students, and collaborators.For over 14 years, my career has bridged jazz, contemporary, and world music as a drummer, percussionist, and composer. I’ve performed at Carnegie Hall, Symphony Space, and other prestigious stages, while leading cross-disciplinary collaborations that unite music with visual art, photography, and experimental performance.As a teaching artist (Harmony Program, 3+ years) and music director/composer (American Academy of Dramatic Arts, 4+ years), I foster creativity, confidence, and artistic curiosity—from young students in public schools to actors reimagining Greek Tragedy/Comedy. My original projects, including \"Unbecoming Human\"and \"Wrapped Up in Our Colored World,\" explore human connection, empathy, and social awareness, earning international exhibitions and recognition such as 2nd place in the Artio Gallery Art Prize.At the core of my practice is a belief in art as a catalyst for dialogue and transformation. I’m eager to connect with fellow innovators, musicians, educators, and cultural organizations to collaborate, inspire, and amplify the unifying power of creativity.
