SUMMARY:Cyprus Sympnony Orchestra - A  MAGICAL NIGHT Maria Farantouri sings Mikis Theodorakis - 14-15.5.2026
DESCRIPTION:The Cyprus Symphony Orchestra is greatly honoured and excited to join forces for the first time with the distinguished Greek artist Maria Farantouri in a special tribute to Mikis Theodorakis\, for a truly magical night! The concert also marks the first performance of the Orchestra under the direction of the its new Artistic Director\, the internationally acclaimed conductor Myron Michailidis. \nMaria Farantouri\, the iconic interpreter of Mikis Theodorakis\, will perform with her uniquely profound expressiveness and inner intensity a selection of the composer’s most celebrated songs\, alongside seven songs from the song cycle Odyssey (2007\, poetry by Kostas Kartelias). \n‘Odyssey’ is the final song cycle composed by the great Greek composer. Its creation was sparked by the emotion Mikis Theodorakis experienced\, upon first reading the poetry of Kostas Kartelias in 2006\, at the age of 81: “When I read Kostas Kartelias’s poems\, I suddenly felt a stirring\, as I did when I was younger\,” the composer confides in the album’s presentation. It was only natural that Theodorakis entrusted both the interpretation and recording of these songs to his quintessential interpreter\, Maria Farantouri. “Mikis Theodorakis surprised us with this new\, fresh and romantic work. We are accustomed to his austere expression\, yet lyricism has always glowed beneath the surface of his songs\,” Farantouri herself has remarked about the cycle. \nThe songs of ‘Odyssey’ form a journey into the depths of the modern human soul: love\, loneliness\, and existential impasses\, as each of us\, like a contemporary Odysseus\, inevitably confronts “clashing rocks” in the search for our own “Ithaca.” As Theodorakis eloquently writes: “Here\, the very subject matter points to the exaltation of the ‘individual’\, who\, like Odysseus\, struggles alone—himself and the sea. Thus\, the ‘individual’\, that is\, our very self\, must ultimately come to terms with the idea that Ithaca does not exist\, and must instead cling to his own passions and emotions in order to remain afloat on the foaming sea that is life.” \nThe concert culminates in a selection of the composer’s most emblematic songs. The incomparable melodies of Mikis Theodorakis—so deeply cherished—interweave creatively with the poetry of leading Greek poets\, illuminating the timeless power and universal resonance of his work. The orchestrations\, both of the ‘Odyssey’ cycle and the songs\, are by Antonis Sousamoglou and Lazaros Tsavdaridis. \nThe evening is further enriched by the symphonic ballet suite ‘The Carnival’ (1953)\, a work that vividly reflects Theodorakis’s creative assimilation and transformation of Greek popular music. As the composer writes: “In 1947\, I was in exile on Ikaria\, and it was then that I first came into meaningful contact with our popular (laïkó) music. The first song I heard was ‘Captain Andreas Zeppos’… Immediately afterwards\, I began systematically collecting popular (laïkó) songs.” This song\, along with other Greek popular (laïkó) and folk melodies and dances\, is imaginatively orchestrated by Theodorakis\, “seeking those orchestral colours that respond to the character of the work’s rhythmic and melodic material.” \n  \n‘The Carnival’ was first presented in November 1953 in Athens by the Athens State Orchestra under the direction of Andreas Paridis. It was later staged as a ballet at the Rome Opera in 1954 by the Greek Dance Theatre of Rallou Manou\, with the Rome Opera Orchestra. Subsequent symphonic premieres followed\, in Paris in 1958 and London in 1959. \nThe authentic interpretations of Maria Farantouri\, the dynamic presence of the Cyprus Symphony Orchestra\, and the interpretative vision of conductor Myron Michailidis offer a unique musical journey\, illuminating the multifaceted work of Mikis Theodorakis—from the deeply human and intimate creator to the leading Greek composer of global stature. \n  \nPROGRAMME \nMikis THEODORAKIS: \nPopular and emblematic songs \nSeven songs from the cycle ‘Odyssey’ (poetry: Kostas Kartelias) \nOrchestrations: Antonis Sousamoglou\, Lazaros Tsavdaridis \n“The Carnival” – symphonic suite \n  \nMaria Farantouri\, vocalist \nCyprus Symphony Orchestra \nMyron Michailidis\, conductor \nThe concerts are held under the auspices of the Cyprus Presidency of the Council of the European Union 2026. \n  \nTicket prices: Zone Α: €35 / €30 (concession) and Zone Β: €30 / €25 (concession) \nTicket presales: \nPallas Theatre\, Pafos Gate (Rigainis and Arsinois corner\, 1010 Lefkosia\, 22 410181): \nOnline at cyso.interticket.com and at the theatre box office 1\,5 hrs before the concert.

SUMMARY:Regatta of Champions – The R.O.C. (Optimist & ILCA4) - 8-15.11.2026 & 22-29.11.2026
DESCRIPTION:After several years of reviewing Optimist sailing events worldwide\, the changes in sailing and the rapid transition to a technological race that has somehow relegated sailors and coaches to secondary status\, Famagusta Nautical Club and the organizers of Regatta of Champions – The R.O.C. cooperated and organized for three consecutive years the pioneer for the sport of Sailing\, the Championship of Champions. \nRegatta of Champions – The R.O.C.\, is the result of a four-year effort that finally reached the implementation phase in 2022. A form of event that had never been done before\, worldwide\, that can be held anywhere in the world\, in any country and in any category\, using the sponsors and standards of the organizers. Scheduled again this year on 08 – 15 of November and using the same pattern\, the top 45 Optimists from around the world are invited to The R.O.C. Applying a selection formula\, based on difficulty of events\, invitations are sent to the top sailors of the World Championships\, as well as all Continental Championships (European\, North & South America\, Asia and Oceania\, and Africa). At least 20% of invitations will be for the other gender. If a Continental Championship is not completed before the R.O.C.\, invitations are sent to eligible sailors from the same continent\, the previous year. \nAll invitations are given\, in person and/or through the National Federations and addressed to specific sailors. If the invited sailors are unable to participate in the event\, then the invitation is transferred to the next ranked sailor. In addition\, there are 19 Wild Cards for sailors to claim during 2025. One Wild Card will always go to the National Champion of the country or the top athlete of the Club hosting the event. 10 Wild Cards are given to the top 10 sailors of our subsidiary worldwide event\, The R.O.C. Kosmos\, which will be organized for 3rd consecutive year in Athens\, from 03 – 10 of July\, with co-organizer Nautical Club of Kalamaki\, and the rest 8 Wild Cards are split into 2 sailing camps with the top 2 winners from each camp getting invitations\, either through existing international races held around the world. Once the fleet is invited and formed\, the 5th Championship of Champions will once again take place in Limassol\, Cyprus. The event lasts a week with 5 competition days\, and plenty of events. \nOur pioneering spirit\, however\, continues and expands our Annual World Event\, as this year\, after intense study and global interest from athletes and coaches of the ILCA4 boat category\, we are organizing\, in the same vein\, the 1st International Regatta of Champions – The R.O.C. ILCA 4. \nThis race\, which will be organized from 22 – 29 November 2026\, in Limassol\, at our venue again\, as we have mentioned\, adopts the exact same pattern as the Optimist category event\, with the only difference being the number of athletes\, which is 40 instead of 45. The subsidiary competition The R.O.C. Kosmos\, will also be organized for the ILCA4 category\, on June 24th – July 1st\, in Athens\, which will also give the opportunity to 18 participating athletes to claim a wild card. We emphasize again that the exact same pattern is followed in both competitions. \nParticipating sailors and coaches are chasing the Champions Cup\, but mainly an academic scholarship prize money of €33\,000 which is awarded to the top 10 sailors in the form of scholarships for academic expenses and to the top 3 coaches in the form of prizes. \nThe participation fee covers registration\, accommodation\, meals and boat charter actual costs. One or two boats accommodate all coaches; however\, optional coach boat charters are available\, per coach. \nOn the official website of the event\, www.regattaofchampions.com you can find all the details and rich photographic material of last year’s event\, which left an excellent impression on the participants\, attendants\, visitors and managed to win the interest of the global sailing world\, for the innovative this idea and its excellent implementation\, adding value to today’s sailing events around the world. Remarkable\, unique and highly effective in its aim\, the promotion of the event\, including all events and sailings\, through the live streaming service\, leaves all those interested\, worldwide\, with the most positive impressions. \nThe organizing committee of the Race is ready\, with more experience now\, to work even harder for even bigger thrills. \n  \nRegatta of Champions – The R.O.C.
