about
Petro-Loukas Chalkias (last name also transliterated as Halkias; Greek: Πετρολούκας Χαλκιάς; born 1934 in Delvinaki, Epirus) is a Greek clarinetist, playing traditional Greek music. Chalkias is widely considered to be one of the best living clarinetists in the Greek tradition, and is a member of the famous Chalkias family, with a tradition in Epirot traditional music. After spending twenty years in the United States, teaching the art of the traditional clarinet, he returned to Greece in 1979, where he still lives, running and playing at a well-known club in the centre of Athens.
