Gratitude Collection Designer Lisu Vega teamed up with model and actress, Athina Klioumi and The President of Miami Fashion Spotlight, Lissette Rondon to launch the “Gratitude” collection as the prelude to the 50th Anniversary of the Beatles Tribute Concert by Miami Symphony Orchestra, on November 16, 2014 at the Adrienne Arsht

Center in Miami.

After a great success achieved by Vega with her exclusive dress showcasing the printed sheet music of “With a Little Help from My friends,” written by Eduardo Marturet, three creative minds came together this time resulting in a limited-edition collection inspired by their passion for the Beatles and the brilliant interpretations of classical music under

the direction of Miami based conductor, Eduardo Marturet.

Designed by Lisu Vega, the three-piece collection (entirely made in the USA) evokes an effortless haute urban knack for edgy street-wear with a luxe finish. A portion of the

proceeds will go to benefit Miami Symphony Orchestra (MISO).

This limited edition “Gratitude” Collection is availabe now at www.lisuvega.com.

Athina Klioumi

Born in Berlin, Germany, from Greek origin with a “Venezuelan soul”, Athina Klioumi

was already performing theater by age five, and did her first television commercial at the age of 12. That same year she won a modeling competition in Egypt, and continued working while studying microbiology in Germany.

As she developed her modeling and acting career, she worked as a Top Model for international brands such as L´oreal, Revlon, Max Factor, Nivea, Schwarzkopf, Cutty Sark, Old Parr and several international designers like Angel Sanchez in Venezuela. In 1990, she was the recipient of “The Most Beautiful Face in the World” award in Miami, which is where she started taking acting classes and began to work in film. She has performed in several video clips and short films, soap operas and feature films like “Besame Mucho” by Philipe Toledano, and “Miranda” by Diego Risquez.

She is heavily involved in Miami Fashion Week, and writes her own column for a local Miami newspaper (AthinaDivina) on topics of health and beauty. Klioumi speaks fluent German, Spanish, English, Greek, French and Arabic, and lives between Miami and Caracas with her husband, international conductor and composer Eduardo Marturet.

As an ambassador for The Miami Symphony Orchestra (MISO), she has worked behind and in front of the camera, and has appeared several times as a host and a narrator. In Venezuela, the United States and in other countries, she supports her husband and MISO in helping develop young musicians and guest artists for performances and other charity events.

Barbara Becker

Barbara was born in Heidelberg, and is the daughter of a German teacher,

Ursula Feltus, and an African-American photographer, Harlan Ross Feltus, one of Germany’s most well-known children photographers. Becker studied voice and acting in Munich before she discovered modeling and began taking on work. At age 27, she married Boris Becker and eventually had two children - Noah Gabriel and Elias Balthasar. The couple separated in 2000, and Barbara moved with her sons to Fisher Island, Florida. From there she simultaneously launched different career paths in Acting, Interior Design, Jewelry, Fashion and Fitness, all infused with passion and becoming extremely successful. In 2009, she married the Belgian artist, Arne Quinze, and was with him up until 2011. In the meantime, Barbara has made a name for herself in many areas - she is most notably Germany’s First Fitness Lady, but is also a renowned designer, actress and business woman.

Eduardo Marturet

Eduardo Marturet enjoys an active career on three continents. As the Music Director and Conductor of The Miami Symphony Orchestra, he remains deeply involved in the musical

life of his native Venezuela and continues to guest conduct actively in Europe. A Steinway Artist, he has made more than 40 CDs that range from a Brahms orchestral cycle to surveys of Latin America’s greatest orchestral composers.

European orchestras with which he has had an active guest conducting relationship include Berliner Symphoniker, European Community Chamber Orchestra, Staatsphilharmonie Rheinland-Pfalz, RAI Symphony Orchestra, Danish Radio Symphony, Royal Flemish Philarmonique, Nordwestdeutsche Philharmonie, Gelders Orkest, Bohemian Chamber Philharmonic, Budapest Radio Symphony, Brabant Orkest, and Concertgebouw Chamber Orchestra in Amsterdam. In 2001, he led the Berliner Symphoniker on a 12-concert tour of major South American cities including Caracas, Sao Paulo, Cordoba, Montevideo and Buenos Aires. A documentary of the tour was broadcast through the region by DirecTV.

Born in Caracas, Marturet studied in Cambridge, England where he became firmly rooted in the European tradition, obtaining a degree in Piano, Percussion, Conducting, and Composition. In 1979, he returned to Venezuela with a permanent position with the Orquesta Filarmónica de Caracas as Associate Conductor and later as Artistic Director to the Orquesta Sinfónica Venezuela, where he served in that position until 1995. Presently, he maintains close contact with the Venezuelan National Youth Orchestra movement, giving advice and support in aid of poor children.

With the opening of the Teresa Carreño Theatre in Caracas in 1984, Marturet became its first Music Director. After three years of bringing challenging and original productions to the stage, he resigned from the Theatre to dedicate himself entirely to an international career, conducting in Italy, Greece, France, Spain, England, Denmark, Holland, Korea, Norway, Sweden, Germany, Czechoslovakia, Belgium, Canada and the United States.

He made his Asian debut with the Seoul Philharmonic in 2003, a year when he also opened the Chorin Summer Festival in Berlin and made his debut with the Buenos Aires Philharmonic in Argentina and the Florida Philharmonic in Miami.

In 2006, received a Latin Grammy nomination for “Encantamento” in the category of Best Classical Album conducting the Berliner Symphoniker.

In March 2012 the flag of the United States was flown over the U.S. Capitol in honor of Eduardo Marturet, together with the Medal of Merit of the U.S. Congress in recognition for his outstanding and invaluable service to the community.
