Cyprophonia 3 with CySO - 13.2.2025
2025-02-13 20:30 - 22:00 UTC | Pallas Theatre, 24 Rigainis, Nicosia, 1513, Cyprus
Lefkosia: Thursday 13 February 2025 – Pallas Theatre, Pafos Gate, 20:30
Musical composition in Cyprus is thriving, thanks to a bursting array of Cypriot composers bringing a fresh, imaginative perspective to contemporary musical creation on the island.
Under the baton of the rising Cypriot conductor Kyriaki Kountouri, the concert “Cyprophonia 3” will offer audiences a glimpse into the country’s vibrant musical creation, highlighting the works of four Cypriot composers.
Savvas Savva’s Concerto for piano no. 3 has been commissioned by the CySO Foundation and will receive its world premiere with the amazing Cypriot pianist Rami Sadieddine as the soloist – an artist who regularly champions contemporary works. The audience will also have the opportunity to hear the world premieres of ‘Physeos Kelados’ by George Hadjimarkou and ‘Coastal Land’ by Nicos Vichas, as well as the Phanos Dymiotis’ Divertimento. In these works one may appreciate the blending of the classical tradition with modernity and contemporary techniques in unique and compelling ways, whilst in two of them nature is the source of inspiration.
Rounding off the concert are Béla Bartók’s Romanian Folk Dances, and ‘Arodafnousa’ by Alkis Baltas, both paying tribute to folk music traditions of Eastern Europe and Cyprus, respectively.

3rd International Coastal Rowing Beach Sprints LNC Competition - 4-6.4.2025
2025-04-04 08:00 - 2025-04-06 17:00 UTC | Parekklisia Beach / Malindi Beach, St. Raphael Marina, Limassol, Cyprus
A Beach Sprint Coastal rowing race, is an exciting and dynamic rowing race that takes place in the sea near a beach. Unlike traditional rowing races that take place in calm waters, coastal rowing races add an extra level of excitement by wading through waves, currents and potentially rough weather.
Here is a description of what such a race might entail:
**Location:**
The race is usually run along a scenic coastline, incorporating the natural elements of the open sea. The start and finish points are located on the beach and rowers launch their boats directly from the shore.
** Boats:**
Coastal rowing boats are designed to handle the unpredictable nature of the sea. These boats are sturdier than their calm water counterparts, often featuring wider hulls, reinforced construction and greater stability.
**What does Beach Sprints mean?**
The race starts from the beach, 30-50 meters away from where the wave breaks. The rowers (two athletes at a time) start from the beach sprinting, enter the boat and row between buoys for 250 meters, make the final turn (360 degrees), return to the beach and sprint out of the boat to finish before from their teammate who has done exactly the same course on parallel buoys.
**Challenges:**
Rowers face challenges such as changing winds and potentially choppy waters, making the race both physically demanding and mentally engaging. Adaptability to ever-changing coastal conditions becomes a critical aspect of success.
In other words, a sprint race on the beach combines the athleticism and teamwork of traditional rowing with the unpredictable and exciting elements of coastal waters, creating an exciting and visually captivating sporting event.

Tekton exhibition - 7.4-7.8.2025
2025-04-07 - 2025-08-07 | Old Carob Warehouse, 27 Synergatismou Str., Limassol, 3010, Cyprus
The PSI Foundation is proud to announce the opening of the Tekton exhibition in its premises to be visited from April 7, 2025. The exhibition will be the first to showcase the visionary work of Andreas Papadopoulos and Phoebus Polydorides, a pioneering engineer-architect duo active in Limassol in the late 1950s and early 1960s.
Andreas Papadopoulos (1922–2009) was a skilled engineer and an active advocate for the independence of Cyprus, later serving as the Minister of Transport and Works in the country’s first independent government.
Phoebus Polydorides (1926–2019) played a key role in defining Limassol’s urban aesthetic, designing several iconic buildings, including Aktaia, which became a landmark of the city’s modernist transformation.
The Tekton exhibition delves into the evolution of Modernist architecture in Cyprus, highlighting its role as a powerful symbol of the country’s newfound sovereignty and as a response to the colonial architectural style of the first half of the 20th century. It examines the achievements of Papadopoulos and Polydorides, who introduced innovative architectural forms into the Cypriot landscape and proposed important urban solutions that shaped the identity of the evolving country. Unpublished archival materials offer a rare glimpse into the duo’s contributions to Cyprus’ cultural and architectural heritage.
The revolutionary approach is further developed by a site-specific installation by British artist Matt Collishaw Aftermath. Specially created for the dramatic modernist interior of the PSI Foundation in 2024 it serves as a bridge between the past and the future via the unique dialogue on cultural transformation that incorporates artificial intelligence.
Tekton is curated by Dimitri Ozerkov, Chief Curator of PSI Foundation and former director of the Contemporary Art Department at the Hermitage Museum, and Danila Parniouk, acclaimed photographer and Art Director of PSI Foundation. The exhibition will run through August 2025 and will be open to the public free of charge in the working hours available at https://psi.art.
The Parallel Program to the exhibition kicks off on March 22, at 18:00, with an Artist Talk “The Body in Excess, Zombies, Cyborgs & Chimeras,” by renowned Limassol-born performance artist Stelarc.
The non-profit PSI Foundation was established in Limassol in 2024 with the mission to support and cultivate the thriving artistic landscape of Cyprus. Central to its vision is the promotion of contemporary art in dialogue with technology. Through curated exhibitions, collaborative projects, and creative sessions, the Foundation strives to challenge perceptions about the convergence of art and technology and inspire audiences to explore new realms of possibility. As part of its dedication to showcasing the rich tapestry of Cypriot art, the Foundation proudly supported the Cyprus National Pavilion at the 60th Venice Biennale and hosted several networking events. In 2024 PSI Foundation commissioned Casts of an Island 2024, an exhibition to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the division of the island of Cyprus.
Another mission of the Foundation consists of preserving the historic Carob Warehouse of Limassol and envisaging its future use. The Tekton exhibition presents the results of deep archival research of the building and proposes to envisage its future.

A Musical Journey from the Crucifixion to the Resurrection

Easter is a time of deep religious devotion and inner contemplation, as the Divine Passion is rekindled in our hearts.

The artists have selected a repertoire of universal appeal, performed in multiple languages – Latin, English, Czech, Italian, Spanish, and Greek – featuring hymns, songs, arias, piano works, and excerpts from renowned requiems and oratorios.

The concerts are organized by Ms. Antonella Mantovani, Representative of the Latin Catholic Community in the House of Representatives, under the auspices of H.E. Monsignor Bruno Varriano, Bishop Patriarchal Vicar of Cyprus, with the support of the Deputy Ministry of Culture.

EASTER CONCERT - ROSSINI STABAT MATER WITH CYSO - 10.4.2025
2025-04-10 20:30 - 22:00 UTC | Nicosia Municipal Theatre, Mouseiou 4, Lefkosia, 1097, Cyprus
Lefkosia: Thursday 10 April 2025 – Nicosia Municipal Theatre: 20:30
Gioachino Rossini: Stabat Mater
Eleni Charalambous soprano
Margarita Elia mezzo – soprano
Marios Andreou tenor
Yiorgo Ioannou bass
Cyprus Youth Symphony Orchestra Choir
(choirmaster: Loizos Loizou)
Daniel Raiskin conductor

The Holy Week of the Passion and the Resurrection of Christ is a time that stirs the soul with reverence and fills the heart with renewed hope. Few musical works capture these emotions as powerfully as Gioachino Rossini’s Stabat Mater – a magnificent sacred work for chorus, soloists and orchestra, evoking both the sorrow of human suffering and the promise of divine redemption.
Written in 1841, Stabat Mater is one of Rossini’s few sacred compositions, yet it stands as a masterpiece of its kind. Inspired by the 13th-century hymn meditating on the sorrow of the Virgin Mary at the foot of the cross, Rossini’s setting masterfully balances operatic drama with profound religious devotion. The work’s rich choral passages, lyrical solos, and intricate orchestration combine to create a powerful meditation on grief, faith, and salvation.
