Artist description Lambros Demetrios Callimahos, the world-famous virtuoso, was born in the shadow of the great pyramids of Egypt on December 16, 1910. After the fourth year at the Juilliard, Callimahos went to Europe for further study. His concert debut was made in Munich in the spring of 1935, on which occasion he stood forth the finished artist, an unrivaled virtuoso of the flute, thrilling the audience with his consummate mastery -- indeed, being heralded as the "Meisterfloetist". Callimahos later made musical history by playing the very first full flute recital in Carnegie Hall, and his son, Andrew D. Callimahos.
