## Biography

Lalas was born in 1844 or 1848 in [Magarevo](/source/Magarevo), then [Ottoman Empire](/source/Ottoman_Empire) (now [North Macedonia](/source/North_Macedonia)).[1][2] He studied in [Monastir](/source/Bitola), [Thessaloniki](/source/Thessaloniki), [Athens](/source/Athens) and later in 1868-70 in the [University of Music and Performing Arts Munich](/source/University_of_Music_and_Performing_Arts_Munich).[1] In 1870 he appears to have met the great [German](/source/German_people) composer [Richard Wagner](/source/Richard_Wagner) and by 1876 he was his student and collaborator.[1][2]

He soon became the conductor of an [Orchestra](/source/Orchestra) in [Salzburg](/source/Salzburg), while in [Presburg](/source/Presburg) he replaced the conductor [Hans Richter](/source/Hans_Richter_(conductor)) at a concert of Wagner's works in the presence of Wagner himself.[1][2] During 1877-1881 he taught music in [Chalki](/source/Heybeliada), and later settled in Thessaloniki. He was the teacher of [Emilios Riadis](/source/Emilios_Riadis).[1][3]

He cooperated with fellow [Greek Macedonians](/source/Macedonians_(Greeks)), with whom he co-founded "*Macedonian Defense*" at the end of 1902, committees of which appeared in Greek Macedonian towns and villages, preparing its inhabitants for the upcoming [Macedonian Struggle](/source/Macedonian_Struggle).[1] At some point, before 1906, Lalas composed a musical work on the Macedonian Struggle, entitled "*Makedonikos Paian*" (*Μακεδονικός Παιάν*).[1][2]

He died of [cholera](/source/Cholera) in 1911 in [Monastir](/source/Bitola), and his works were lost in 1917.[1]
