                                  Jenny Soulkouki was born in Elbasan of Albania

                                    in 1983 and started her musical studies at the

                                   age of 5 with her mother, Violeta Sulkuqi. Her

                                   first concert was at the age of 6 in the «Skampa»

                                    theatre.

                                   She studied at the Conservatory of Athens and

                                   during her first years she was guided by Prof.

                                    Loukia Filipponi. In 2001 she takes part in a

                                   nationwide contest, in which she wins the 1st

                                   prize. She graduated in 2006 from the Athens

                                   Conservatory with a diploma, a degree of

                                   excellence and she was awarded the 1st Award

                                   under the instruction of Prof. Aris Garoufalis.

                                   She has participated in numerous

 chamber music, concerts, recitals, competitions, seminars and

 events in Greece and abroad, either as a soloist or as a piano

 accompanist.

 She works at the Athens Conservatory as a piano teacher and piano

 accompanist since 2009. Together with Victoria-Fjoralba Kiazimi she

 formed the “Piano Duo Specchio” in Greece, Athens in 2013. She is the

 pianist of «Rosarte Children's Choir» since 2010.

"Piano Duo SPECCHIO" was founded in 2013 by Victoria Fjoralba Kiazimi and Jenny Soulkouki. This artistic collaboration was more a necessity rather than an idea. Their common music experiences, their life-lasting friendship both as students but also as teachers later on at the Athens Conservatory made this piano duo a ‘must’ and not an ‘option’.

By today they have performed in Europe and Asia but also in numerous cities around Greece. Presenting repertoires ranging from classical to baroque and contemporaries, Victoria & Jenny have performed in concert halls, museums, piano festivals and music conservatories.

Believing in their natural talent but working tirelessly to achieve excellence, they have been doing what they love most:

Transform their passion for music into a powerful force for society.
