SUMMARY:«KARAGIOZIS GOES TO A CONCERT» - Cyprus Symphony Orchestra
DESCRIPTION:«KARAGIOZIS GOES TO A CONCERT»\n	Family Concerts \n	Larnaka: Wednesday 2 February 2022\, Larnaka Municipal Theatre\, 18:30\n	Pafos: Thursday 3 February 2022\, Markideio Municipal Theatre\, 18:30\n	Lefkosia: Friday 4 February 2022\, Nicosia Municipal Theatre\, 18:30\n	Lemesos: Saturday 5 February 2022\, Rialto Theatre\, 17:00\n	 \n	 \n	The Cyprus Symphony Orchestra\, under the direction of its honourary conductor\, Mr. Alkis Baltas\, presents an original musico-theatical performance that combines “Karagiozis” shadow theatre with popular classical works. The performance is both entertaining and instructive and will initiate children and grown-ups alike into the world of classical music!\n	 \n	Storyline:\n	 \n	Nionios (Mr. Dionysios)\, an ardent music lover\, tries to convince Karagiozis to attend a classical music concert\, organized by Vizier’s daughter. Karagiozis refuses to do so until Veligegas orders that everyone should attend the concert: Karagiozis\, Barbayiorgos\, Stavrakas\, Hadjiavatis and all the other Shadow Theatre characters. During the concert\, Karagiozis has many questions: about the instruments\, the music\, the composer and other things\, which Nionios patiently explains in simple words\, wishing to initiate him into the world of classical music. Gradually\, Karagiozis completely changes his view about this music\, which he previously thought to be difficult and rather dull! Now he loves it!\n	 \n	Mr. Alkis Baltas’ note about the creation of the performance:\n	 \n	The idea for creating a musico-theatrical performance for children that would be both recreational and at the same time a fine introduction to classical music\, has been in my mind for quite a few years now. In July 2016\, I was finally able to materialise this project. So\, Karagiozis came to mind. This Greek folklore shadow theatre hero whom I used to watch as a child in performances shown in my neighborhood\, continues to spread great enthusiasm and fun to young and old even in our days. So\, I wrote the story of this performance\, I chose the works that would suit its unfolding and I arranged some of them for a small musical ensemble. \n	 \n	The work was ready musically. However\, the key-artist was missing: a Karagiozis puppeteer. I had the fortune of meeting an excellent professional who carries on the great tradition of Karagiozis shadow theatre\, Thodoris Kostidakis. I gave him the text I had written to which he made a few additions of his own\, experienced as he is in this folk art form. Both of us got excited at the prospect of presenting this work.  The work was first performed in December 2016 in Lefkosia by a CySO ensemble and was an instant success. We are now taking it all over Cyprus\, with two Karagiozi puppeteers this time\, brothers Thodoris and Babis Kostidakis.\n	 \n	…Through the funny episodes in the work\, the young members of our audience will learn many things about music and\, of course\, about classical works. I hope that not only our young friends\, but also their parents will love this performance!\n	 \n	 \n	Idea\, storyline\, selection and orchestration of musical works: Alkis Baltas\n	Shadow Theatre: “Karagiozis” Puppeteers of “Anemodoura” Thodoris and Babis Kostidakis (in Greek)\n	Conductor: Alkis Baltas\n	 \n	Supporters:Larnaka Municipality\, Pafos Municipality\, Rialto Theatre\, Limassol Municipality\n	 \n	Ticket prices: €7 for all\n	Free Entrance to people with disabilities.\n	 \n	Ticket presales:\n	Larnaka\, Pafos and Lefkosia concerts:Online at www.cyso.org.cy\,and at Pallas Theatre Box Office every Wednesday 16:00-19:00.\n	Lemesos concert:  Online at www.rialto.com.cy\, and at theBox Office\, Mon-Fri: 10:00-13:00 and 17:00-19:00\, Sat: 10:00-13:00.\n	 \n	Larnaka Municipal Theatre (Leonida Kioupi\, Larnaka\, 24 665794)\n	Markideio Municipal Theatre (Andrea Geroudi 27\, 8010 Pafos\,26 222286)\n	Nicosia Municipal Theatre (Mouseiou avenue 4\, 1097 Lefkosia)\n	Rialto Theatre (Andrea Drousioti 19\, Heroes Square\, 3040Lemesos\, 77777745)\n	 \n	Information: 22 463144\, www.cyso.org.cy\n	 \n	 \n	 \n	For more information you may contact Constantia Elia at 22 463135\, email: c.elia@cyso.org.cy\n	 \n

SUMMARY:Starlight 4 - Cyprus Symphony Orchestra
DESCRIPTION:CYPRUS SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA\n	STARLIGHT 4 \n	Τhe Cyprus Symphony Orchestra is honoured to share the stage in this programme with the charismatic\, world-class maestro Carlos Kalmar. During his vast career\, Carlos Kalmar has held the position of Music Director of the Oregon Philharmonic for eighteen years and has conducted the most celebrated symphony orchestras of the US\, such as the Chicago\, New York\, Los Angeles\, Boston and San Francisco. Under Kalmar’s rigorous conducting and the CySO\, the audience will enjoy two romantic works written at the end of the 19th century. \n	Τhe programme will open with Antonín Dvořák’s (1841–1904) wondrous Symphony no. 9\, known as the symphony “of the New World”\, which he complete in 1893\, a year after his arrival in the United States. Intrigued with the folk idioms of America\, Dvořák embodied the peculiarities of Negro and Indian music in the themes of this symphony. \n	Next\, Carlos Kalmar will conduct The Overture and the Polovtsian March from Alexander Borodin’s (1833–1887) exotic opera Prince Igor. Infused with Russian folk song idioms and “oriental” melodies\, Borodin didn’t manage to complete this grandiose opera. The Polovtsian March – which signifies the triumphal return of the Polovtsian army – was completed by Borodin and orchestrated by Rimsky-Korsakov. \n	Antonín Dvořák: Symphony no. 9 in E minor\, op. 95 (“From the New World”)\n	Alexander Borodin: Excerpts from the opera Prince Igor: Overture and Polovtsian March \n	Conductor: Carlos Kalmar \n	Venues:\n	Lefkosia:  Nicosia Municipal Theatre\,Thursday 17 February 2022\, 20:30 \n\n	Lemesos: Pattihio Municipal Theatre Friday 18 February 2022\, 20:30 \n\n	Ticket prices: \n\n	Stalls Premium Seats: €35 / €28 (concession)\n	Stalls Regular Seats: €30 / €24 (concession)\n	Balcony: €22 / €17 (concession) \n	Concession tickets are available to: Students\, soldiers\, pensioners\, large and five-member families on presentation of ID.
