PREMIERE 5 CySO - Romantic gems by Edward Elgar and Johannes Brahms - 15.5.2025
2025-05-15 20:30 - 22:00 (Asia/Nicosia) | Municipality Theatre G. Lykourgos, Municipal Gardens, Larnaka, Larnaka, 6021, Cyprus
To conduct the PREMIERE 5 concerts, the Orchestra is delighted to welcome on the podium the hugely talented Polish maestro Kinga Glowacka, winner of the CySO International Conducting Masterclass and Competition last year. The programme combines two supreme romantic gems by Edward Elgar and Johannes Brahms to nurture your soul!
Elgar’s Cello Concerto in E minor, is a masterpiece that captivates with its profound emotion and subtle complexity. Composed in the aftermath of World War I, it reflects Elgar’s deep personal introspection and is filled with a rich, haunting tone, and moments of intense drama. The Orchestra is excited to collaborate with the highly distinguished Norwegian cellist Øyvind Gimse as the soloist in this magnificent concerto.
Often referred to as “Beethoven’s Tenth” for its bold, grand scope, Brahms’ Symphony no. 1 in C minor, combines drama, passion, and a triumphant, uplifting finale.

Johannes Brahms: Symphony no. 1 in C minor, op. 68

Horika Ydata written and directed by Lina Nikolakopoulou - Limassol 13.6.2025
2025-06-13 21:00 - 22:30 (Asia/Nicosia) | Kourion Amphitheatre, Episkopi, Lemesos, 4620, Cyprus
Lina Nikolakopoulou’s long career as a lyricist encompasses not only the world of music but the theatre also, where she has collaborated with a number of important directors and composers on a wide range of great works from ancient dramaturgy to the modern day.
In Horika Ydata, the major Greek poet and lyricist directs excerpts from theatrical works and their songs, for which she has also written linking texts. The production weaves a colourful tapestry of comedy and drama, focussing on timeless themes that shape human nature, fate and deeds.
Many of the songs written for theatre have taken on a life of their own, becoming popular without audiences knowing that they originated in the theatre. In Horika Ydata, they return to their original home: the stage. Starting with Lysistrata (1986) and then The Trojan Women, Plutus, The Knights, Oedipus, The Sixth Floor, Wild Honey, and The Little Slave, Lina Nikolakopoulou accentuates how the Choric art – a combination of poetry, music and dance – plays a crucial role in shaping performance. Songs, both familiar and less well-known, each with a theatrical story to tell, come together in a captivating production that engages the audience on a deeply emotional level.
Joining Lina Nikolakopoulou in her creative endeavours is a superb team of artists whose talent is an integral part in the final result: Angelos Mentis and Angelos Angeli, designers of the set and costumes respectively; Socrates Leptos, arranger, conductor and music coach of the production; and Fotis Nikolaou, responsible for movement and choreography.
Eight performers – four men and four women from three generations – bring a wide range of dramatic skills to the stage, with their acting, dancing and singing: the grande dame of the theatre, Annita Santorineou, who embodies the spirit of the legendary era of Karolos Koun, Stella Fyrogeni, Alexandros Bourdoumis, Haris Pisias and Niovi Charalambous, who have had a long and successful career in theatre, and the younger cast members, Christos Grozos, Loukas Prokopiou and Maria Tsiakka.
Six accomplished instrumentalists bring the music to life with a wonderful blend of virtuosity and flair.

An immersive musical experience is in store for the audience in this year’s CySO & CyYSO side-by-side concert, the culmination of a rich and fruitful artistic season. Around one hundred professional and young musicians will join their forces, performing with heightened passion three masterworks, under the baton of the distinguished Cypriot maestro Petros Stylianou.
Τhe concert will open with Nimrod from Edward Elgar’s “Enigma Variations”, a solemn, yet deeply emotional piece of music that conveys the nobility and depth of character of Augustus J. Jaeger, a close friend and supporter of Elgar’s work.
The featured soloist in Camille Saint-Saens’ Cello concerto no. 1 in A minor is the talented young cellist Vasilios Argyridis, principal cellist of the Cyprus Youth Symphony Orchestra. Since its debut in 1873, the concerto has become a cornerstone of the cello repertoire, beloved by both performers and audiences alike for its thrilling blend of passion and technical brilliance.
Rimsky-Korsakov’s captivating symphonic suite Scheherazade, op. 35 – inspired by tales from “One Thousand and One Nights” – is an unsurpassable masterpiece of musical storytelling, mesmerizing the listener with its exotic and sensual atmosphere, evocative themes, and lush orchestration.

Evgeny Grinko: Conert in Kourion - 6.7.2025
2025-07-06 20:00 - 21:30 (Asia/Nicosia) | Curium Ancient Theatre
Celebrity Gala presents:
For the very first time in Cyprus — Evgeny Grinko’s live performance at the ancient amphitheatre of Kourion!
One evening. One grand piano. A string quartet. And a stage where 2,000 years of history meet the cinematic pulse of neoclassical music.
⠀
Evgeny Grinko, the acclaimed composer and pianist whose music resonates across Europe, will perform in Cyprus for the very first time — as part of his Summer Europe Tour.
His compositions are intimate and magnetic — blending gentle piano with orchestral textures and deep emotional current. Often called the Eastern European Einaudi, Grinko’s sound evokes comparison with Max Richter, Yann Tiersen, and Ólafur Arnalds — yet remains uniquely his own.
On this night, under the stars, his most beloved pieces will be performed surrounded by candlelight and the spellbinding acoustics of the ancient Kourion theatre.
Evgeny Grinko’s first — and possibly only — concert in Cyprus. Capacity is limited — this is an open-air venue with a once-in-a-lifetime atmosphere.

The festival that turns Nicosia into one big creative stage
July 9 & 10 | Eleftheria Square
Nicosia is coming out to play this summer, right in the heart of the city. The United Street Festival is back for its 2nd edition, transforming the heart of the city into an open-air canvas bursting with music, art, street food, and all the summer feels.
For two full days, the square will come alive with young artists, creators, designers, and lifestyle shops bringing along handmade treasures, jewellery, fashion, accessories, and one-of-a-kind finds that might just become your summer essentials.
On July 9, get ready to dance – this time outside your TikTok feed – with the viral energy of Papazó and his iconic balcony crew featuring Akyllas and Artemis Kyriakopoulou, the groove maestro The Mighty Scoop, and the always-on-beat Pueblo Franco with his unmistakable summer soundtrack.
On July 10, the party keeps going with Greek electronica legend Roni Iron, who blends poetic lyrics with deep electronic beats, Berlin-based Penny K with her explosive, genre-bending energy, and Alejjos, the rising star remixing Cyprus’ folklore into bold electronic soundscapes.
Let’s be honest, no street festival is complete without top-tier street food and cocktails that hit just right, because this is summer in the city, and it deserves the full experience.
In short? Save the date, text the group chat, and meet us at Eleftheria Square on July 9 & 10 to experience a louder, more creative, more alive version of the capital – one that feels truly ours.
