Με τον όρο κλασική μουσική αναφέρεται ευρύτερα η Δυτικοευρωπαϊκή μουσική παραγωγή που εκτείνεται σε μία αρκετά μεγάλη χρονική περίοδο, περίπου από το έτος 470 μέχρι και την σύγχρονη εποχή. Το επίθετο "κλασικός" προέρχεται από τη λατινική λέξη -classicus, σηματοδοτεί δηλαδή κάτι εξαιρετικό. Διάφοροι ορισμοί συνδέουν τον όρο με την ελληνική και λατινική αρχαιότητα, ως συμμόρφωση του ύφους ή της σύνθεσης με τα πρότυπα της ελληνικής και λατινικής αρχαιότητας
(Oxford English Dictionary). Οι ορισμοί αυτοί μεταφέρθηκαν στην μουσική
για να δηλώσουν περισσότερο την διάκριση μεταξύ της "έντεχνης" μουσικής
από την λαϊκή ή παραδοσιακή.
Η έννοια της κλασικής μουσικής, παρέπεμπε επομένως σε μία "ανώτερη"
μορφή μουσικής σύνθεσης, με "σοβαρούς" σκοπούς και πέρα από τον
ψυχαγωγικό χαρακτήρα. Ο όρος "Κλασική Σχολή" χρησιμοποιήθηκε αργότερα στη Γερμανία το 1830 για το έργο των Χάυντν, Μότσαρτ και Μπετόβεν.
Η ιστορία της κλασικής ευρωπαϊκής μουσικής μπορεί να χωριστεί στις παρακάτω κύριες ιστορικές περιόδους:
Μεσαίωνας: η μεσαιωνική μουσική καλύπτει την περίοδο περίπου από τα τέλη του 5ου αι. μέχρι το 1400.
Αναγέννηση: η αναγεννησιακή μουσική καλύπτει την περίοδο 1400–1600.
Μπαρόκ: η μπαρόκ μουσική καλύπτει την περίοδο 1600–1750.
Κλασική εποχή: η μουσική της περιόδου 1730–1830.
Ρομαντισμός: η ρομαντική εποχή της μουσικής καλύπτει την περίοδο 1815–1910.
Σύγχρονη εποχή: η μουσική η οποία παράγεται κατά κύριο λόγο στον 20ο αιώνα διατηρώντας χαρακτηριστικά γνωρίσματα της μουσικής των προηγούμενων περιόδω

Excerpts from "Gaia" by Eugenia Manolide
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4x1sHuX2VU0
Composer – Conductor Eugenia was born in Athens, Greece. Although she was a classically trained piano student throughout her childhood, her aim was always to compose. After graduating from high school, she pursued her dream in New York.
In NYC she studied composition and orchestration with the composer Daron Hagen as well as conducting with Vincent la Selva and piano with Julie Jordan at the Juilliard School. Four years later, she returned to Europe to further continue her studies with the Belgian composer and conductor Robert Janssens
Being specialized in symphonic music, Eugenia’s first album “Meanings and Symbols” was recorded in NYC. It presents her first attempt to express her musical vision of the most meaningful and symbolic myths of classical Greece, “an infinite source of inspiration”, as the composer believes and has often repeated since. A later recording of this album was released by Kunduru – Universal.
For the next ten years (1998-2008) Eugenia kept on composing and performing music that was inspired by the history and mythology of ancient Greece. Here is a list of her works and concerts in brief.
Eugenia Karagiannidou (Greek: Ευγενία Καραγιαννίδου), better known as Eugenia Manolidou (Μανωλίδου) or Manolides, is a Greek classical composer, conductor, entertainment TV presenter and the wife of politician and former Minister of Health Adonis Georgiades. Personal life and education
Born on February 27, 1975 as Eugenia Karagiannidou in Athens, Greece, Eugenia Manolidou started her first piano lessons at the age of five. In 1994, she stopped the advanced piano studies at the conservatory J.S. Bach with the Russian teacher Ala Chalapsi in order to study composition at the Juilliard School. She studied composition and orchestration with Daron Hagen and orchestral conducting with the director of the New York Grand Opera, Vincent la Selva, continuing at the same time piano studies with the American soloist Julie Jordan. In 1998, she began post-graduate studies with the Belge composer and conductor Robert Janssens at the Royal Conservatory of Music in Brussels. In 2005, she completed post – graduate studies (major History of Civilization) at the Alpine Universität, Zürich.
Manolidou was married painter Theodoros Manolides, 37 years her elder, in 1995. They separated in 2002 but Manolides denied to file the divorce for some time.[1] Currently she is married to editor, New Democracy politician and former Minister of Health Adonis Georgiades. She is the mother of 2 children (Alexandros, 1996 and Theodora, 1997) from her first marriage and another one with Georgiades[2] called Perseas (2005). Eventually the two were married on June 22, 2009.[3]
TV career
Manolides was going to participate as a judge for the Greek version of The X-factor for Antenna TV,[4] however she was also proposed by the same channel to be a presenter for the Greek version of the Moment of Truth reality game. Her position in X-factor was taken by Katerina Gagaki.
The Moment of Truth became a controversial spectacle in Greece characterized as "hardcore reality television",[5] as well as her own presence there, since Georgiades is a representative with the Popular Orthodox Rally, a right-conservative party. Manolides herself made a controversial statement in an interview for Ethnos TV magazine[6] stating that she would prefer to be a house cleaner rather than visiting the Moment of Truth as a participant.
In 2010 Eugenia was the main judge of Ellada Eheis Talento (Greece's Got Talent) and replaced Matthildi Maggira (show woman). This was a controversial choice as everyone accepted Maggira as a judge. As a result, a lot of gossip arose and the choice of Manolidou as a judge is still frequently debated.
From March to June 2010, Eugenia was a contestant at the first season of Dancing with the stars (Greece). She was eliminated in the semi-final, having received positive reviews for her performance.
In 2011 Eugenia Manolidou, was the main moderator and presenter of the successful Cooking Game show, MasterChef on the TV channel Mega, an adaptation of the original British show.
