Evanthia Reboutsika was born and raised in Kato Achaia, town of Patras, in Greece. Her father was the owner of a cinema named “Rex” and young Evanthia enjoyed listening to the soundtracks of the films.

At the age of six she started studying violin at the Conservatory of Patras. She continued her studies at the Athens Conservatory and later at Greek Conservatory and in Paris at the Ecole Normale De Music.

She currently collaborates with the Symphony Orchestra of Third Program and participates in “Music in August” organized by Manos Hadjidakis.

Evanthia loves to compose melodies that will accompany stories and frames in film movies, documentaries and TV series.

In 1997 Evanthia Reboutsika had a unique colaberation with famous Nana Mouskouri for the TV series “Athens - Thessaloniki,” directed by Christos Paligiannopoulos. That same year BMG enables traffic to Evanthia’s own personal work with orchestral pieces.

As a result was the presentation of two excellent solo albums, which showed significant sales. “The star and the wish” (Greek title,“to asteri kai I euxi”) (1998) and “Short Stories”(2000) (Greek title “mikres istories”) are a presentation of Evanthia’s unique compositions in their original form before they became songs with lyrics given to great singers. On those two important records, vocalist Caroline Lavelle gives an interpretation of “Alexandria” in a foreign language.

In 2003, she composed for Tassos Boulmetis film, “A touch of spice,” which became a huge box office success. The soundtrack with music exclusively written by Evanthia is one of the most successful orchestral albums. She was awarded at Thessaloniki Film Festival for best music.

After ten years she meets again with the director of the movie “Touch of spice”, Tasos Boulmetis and she wrote music for his films “Notias” and “1968”. She managed to direct her ideal sounds flirting with different types of music from folk to tango traveling through important decades for the cultural and political history of Greece.

Evanthia Reboutsika signed the music for this movie.
