Being an accomplished Contemporary Vocals Professor, she is teaching in three Music Schools in Athens, including one of the largest music schools in the world, Modern Music School.[5][6] In 2014–2015, she performed in the Greek version of The Sound of Music, the most expensive musical theatre production in Greece.[7]

In the beginning of 2016, Chryso formed the romantic folk metal band Chrysilia, together with co-composer and keyboardist Elias Pero (Sovereign), multi-instrumentalist and producer Bob Katsionis (Firewind, Serious Black, Outloud), guitarist Teo Ross, bassist Jim Ramses, violin virtuoso Odysseas Zafeiropoulos and drummer Panos Geo.

In November 2016, Chryso was invited as a vocal coach at The Voice of Greece on Greek TV channel Skai but she declined due to her focus on Chrysilia[1] and her vocal teaching career.

On 21 and 22 September 2018, Chryso performed at the Herodes Atticus Odeon, one of the world's most historic and prestigious theatres, together with the Prague Philharmonic Orchestra and the Athens State Orchestra in symphonic renditions of classic rock anthems by Deep Purple, Led Zeppelin, Queen, Europe and more.[9] Both shows in the 5,000 capacity ancient theatre were sold out.[10]
