Limassol Photography Festival
2023-10-20 - 2023-11-12
BPRArts Cultural Management presents the “Limassol Photography Festival”, which opens on 20 October and will last until 12 November 2023. The Festival is being held with the financial support of the Cyprus Deputy Ministry of Culture.
The Limassol Photography Festival aspires to be established as an important annual event that will significantly contribute to the presentation, development and evolution of photography. Its primary aim is to promote photographic creativity as an outstanding form of visual expression, both on the national and international levels.
As part of the modern photographic landscape, the Limassol Photography Festival aims to function as a means of recording contemporary social life in the various visual styles and perspectives of the photographers/creative artists, which project, suggest and sometimes enrich the photographic vocabulary.
This year’s Limassol Photography Festival is dedicated to the late participating photographer George Pantazis who left us on the 4th of October 2023.
The theme chosen for 2023 is “Place or Landscape”. The artists participating in the open air exhibition at the Molos Seaside Park of Limassol, namely Antigone Solomonidou Droussiotou, Nicholas Constantinou, George Pantazis, Mo Khatib and Max Zhiltsov, infiltrate the city and through their pictures convey its daily life and local identity. The experiences and techniques of the artists converse with the current image of Limassol and interact with it. The composition of diverse semiological elements in their photographs gives rise to the question whether this is a Place that has become a Landscape or a Landscape that has become a Place. Exhibition curated by Stefanos Kouratzis.
In a second photographic exhibition titled “Greece is Ordinary II: Triptychs”, curated by Konstantinos Argianas, which is presented at the 6×6 Centre for Photography, the participating Greek photographers Marilia Photopoulou, Costas Kapsianis and Marinos Tsangarakis, although setting out from different starting points with their own particular objectives each, all indulge in a sarcastic yet highly critical commentary on various aspects of modern Greek culture, its underlying causes and their material traces. The particular work may be described as an alternative visual anthropology of modern Greek culture.

Seeing Through Melancholia: Transcultural Melancholias / Hüzün in the Eastern Mediterranean
2023-10-25 08:30 - 2023-11-19 16:30
From the work of Romantic writers and artists to Eugène Atget’s photography of Parisian streets, the melancholic gaze of the artist captured portraits, landscapes and cityscapes throughout the history of modern art.
This exhibition introduces modern and contemporary transcultural melancholias in the Eastern Mediterranean. In addition to the international contributions of the renowned Parisian photographers Eugène Atget and Edith Guerin, Armenian-Turkish photographer Ara Güler and Lithuanian photographer Arūnas Baltėnas, this exhibition will bring together contemporary artists from Cyprus and the Eastern Mediterranean to the House of Hadjigeorgakis Kornesios, a space of transcultural memories, encounters and histories.
Two aspects of the exhibition make it unique in curatorial practices in the context of Cyprus:
Firstly, the exhibition brings together artists and poets from the Eastern Mediterranean. This inter-medial approach provides additional opportunities that the single medium of poetry or visual arts working within the strict confines of their medium could not have provided on their own. Additionally, using the space of the House of Hadjigeorgakis provides an additional dimension of experience through its Ottoman architecture and transcultural memory exchanges to bring to a museum going public a new experience that is usually confined to the gallery space.
Participating International Artists:
Eugène Atget (1857-1927) — France
Arūnas Baltėnas – Lithuania
Edith Guérin (1910-1998) — France
Ara Güler (1928-2018)— Τurkey
Leslie Hakim-Dowek – United Kingdom/Lebanon
Mustafa Hulusi – United Kingdom/Cyprus

The Demon of Fornication for two vocal interpreters and symphony orchestra by Christos Pittas will receive its world premiere, featuring as soloists the acclaimed opera singers Christos Kechris – tenor and bass-baritone Dionisos Tsantinis.

The Cyprus Symphony Orchestrais delighted to announce the return of the stunning Ukrainian pianist Igor Tchetuev whose inspiring performance astonished our audience last year. The celebrated pianist will perform the legendary Third Piano Concerto by Sergei Rachmaninov, one of the most demanding works of all times in the pianistic repertory. Yet another Russian masterpiece will complete the programme: Tchaikovsky’s Symphony no. 4 which explores the concept of faith. The composer himself confessed, “I adore terribly this child of mine. It is one of only a few works with which I have not experienced disappointment. This is my best symphonic work”. The concerts will be conducted by the world-renowned maestro Charles Olivieri-Munroe, a regular guest conductor with the CySO in the last few years.

Supporter: Cyprus Swiss Association

A FEW WORDS ABOUT PIANISTIGOR TCHETUEV

« Tchetuev brought a genuine thrill – a sound that Neuhaus, Sofronitsky and Richter would have recognised. That indefinable ‘Russian’ quality in the mid-range, the crystalline treble and the defined bass, all combined with a very strong interpretative personality. In a word – glorious! » Solo recital, Wigmore Hall, London, May 26, 2009, Classical Music, Rob Pennock

Igor Tchetuev was born in Sebastopol (Ukraine) in 1980. In 1998, at age 18, he was the First Prize Laureate of the Ninth Arthur Rubinstein International Piano Master Competition and was also voted “Audience Favourite”.

Igor Tchetuev is the guest of such orchestras as Orchestre National de France under Neeme Järvi, WDR Köln under Semyon Bychkov and London Philharmonic Orchestra (Tchaikovsky n°1), Mariinsky Orchestra under Valery Gergiev (Prokofiev n°3), Israel Philharmonic Orchestra (Chopin 1), Bern Philharmonic, Orchestre National de Montpellier (Tchaikovsky n°1/Ari Rasilainen), Bilbao Symphony Orchestra under Günter Neuhold (Tchaikovsky n°1), Russian National Philharmonic under Ken-David Masur (Beethoven Triple Concerto) and many more.

His recordings have received numerous awards: Prokofiev violin Sonatas with the violinist Andrei Bielov (Naxos), “Romantic Etudes” with Schumann, Chopin, Liszt, Scriabin, (Tri-M Classic), Three Chopin Sonatas (Orfeo), “Alfred Schnittke: Complete Piano Sonatas” (Caro Mitis, Russia) (Preis der Deutschen Schallplatten Kritik in Germany, R10 in Classica-Repertoire in France and a magnificent article in Gramophone Magazine) and his last recordings are the first five volumes of his Complete Beethoven Sonatas (Caro Mitis, Russia) with fabulous press critics, and a Medtner recording with the violinist Chloe Hanslip (Hyperion).

Since the 2021-22 season, Igor Tchetuev has been a professor at the Haute Ecole de Musique de Lausanne (HEMU).

A FEW WORDS ABOUT CONDUCTOR CHARLES OLIVIERI-MUNROE

Charles Olivieri-Munroe’s hold on public imagination stems from a ‘combination of talent and charisma’ (New York Times) and a ‘passion for purity of orchestral sound’ (Toronto Star) supported by a proven ability for connecting with a strikingly diverse audience.

Heis currently Artistic Advisor with the Royal Bangkok Symphony Orchestra, Principal Guest Conductor with the Thüringen Philharmonie in Germany and Honourary Chief Conductor of the North Czech Philharmonic with whom he was formerly Chief Conductor between 1997 and 2014. He is also Resident Conductor at the Texas Round Top Festival Institute, the longest continuously running music Festival of its kind in the United States.
​
Charles Olivieri-Munroe regularly appears with major orchestras and opera houses throughout the world, including the Israel Philharmonic, Montreal Symphony Orchestra, Toronto Symphony Orchestra, Sydney Symphony Orchestra, Berlin Deutsches Symphonie-Orchester, Kyoto Symphony Orchestra, Munich Symphony Orchestra, Danish Radio Symphony, Czech Philharmonic, and others.

Born in Malta, Charles Olivieri-Munroe grew up in Canada where he studied the piano with the eminent pedagogue Boris Berlin at the Royal Conservatory of Music and at the University of Toronto. Following his graduation in 1992 he won three Canadian government scholarships to study with Otakar Trhlik in Czechoslovakia.
​
His international career was launched by a series of triumphs in international competitions culminating with his being honored with First Prize in the 2000 Prague Spring International Music Festival Conducting Competition.

Francis Nectarios Guy conductor

The Russian composer Sergei Prokofiev created the adventurous musical story “Peter and the wolf” in which the instruments of the orchestra “recount” the tale in a unique musical manner, representing the protagonists: little Peter, a bird, a duck, a cat, Peter’s grandfather and a wolf that lurks in the forest!
So come along to meet the joyful and bold strings, a chirping flute, an oboe gliding on the water, a clarinet leaping nimbly on the grass, a slowly walking bassoon with a frown on its face, the menacing horns and the banging timpani!
Maestro Francis Nectarios Guy conducts the orchestra and the actor Petros Georkadjisnarrates the story.

Piano Recital – Martino Tirimo - 11.2.2024
2024-02-11 19:00 - 20:45
Piano Recital – Martino Tirimo

Regarded by both critics and fellow artists as one of today’s most distinguished musicians, Martino Tirimo will present some of the greatest works of the classical repertoire: Beethoven’s 7 Ländlerische Tänze WoO11 and Sonata No.32 in C minor Op.111. Schumann’s Fantasy in C major Op.17 and Liszt’s Hungarian Rhapsody No.12.

The Daily Telegraph has characterized him as “a pianist of vision” and “an inspiring poet of the piano” and ‘Musical Opinion’ described him as “a true giant of the keyboard”. In Music and Vision, critic Bill Newman simply wrote: “Tirimo’s playing belongs to a past generation of ‘greats’. Listening to him, I conjure up aural images of Solomon, Arrau, Kempff, Schnabel and Rubinstein. Throughout the evening, one was consistently aware that this supreme musician placed himself entirely at the service of the composer.”
