SUMMARY:Family Concerts 1 with Cyprus Symphony Orchestra - Musical Stories - 10.10.2025

With the delightful voices of Giorgis Christodoulou and Eleonora Roussou leading the way\, and the Cyprus Symphony Orchestra under the baton of Alkis Baltas\, music and storytelling come together in the most exciting way. Joining us on this adventure are three charming heroes: an ugly prince\, a speedy rabbit\, and a determined turtle! \nA person’s beauty lies not in physical appearance\, but in the kindness of the heart. The tale “The Ugly Prince” – written by Galateia Kazantzaki\, first wife of Nicos Kazantzakis – reminds us of this great truth. Conductor and composer Alkis Baltas has lovingly adapted the text and curated the incidental music to the tale which comprises Franz Schubert’s “Unfinished” Symphony no. 8 and his German Dance in Anton Webern’s arrangement.   \nThe story of Aesop’s well-known fable “The Hare and the Tortoise” is simple and fun. The speedy hare and the slow\, steady tortoise decide to have a race. But who do you think will win? Through this tale\, Aesop (625–560 BC) shows us that it’s not good to be boastful\, and we should never underestimate anyone or make fun of others who may seem weaker. He also reminds us that being strong or fast is not enough to win in life. What really helps us reach our goals is patience and keeping on trying\, no matter what! \nIn between the storytelling\, a selection of beloved songs by Mikis Theodorakis\, Spyridon Xyndas\, Costas Cacoyannis\, Dimitris Maragkopoulos and Alkis Baltas will be heard\, as well as a traditional song from the Dodecanese and two songs by George Hadjipieris from the much-loved song series “The Lazy Dragon.” The orchestration is by Alkis Baltas\, while the story of the fable has been adapted by Vicky Stylianou. Images and short videos will be shown on screen during the musical story! \n  \nTicket price: €8 for all \nTicket presales: \nMarkideio Municipal Theatre (Andrea Geroudi 27\, 8010 Pafos\, 26 222286): \nOnline at cyso.interticket.com and 1\,5 hrs before the concert. \nInformation: 22 463144\, www.cyso.org.cy
