SUMMARY:Cyprus Symphony Orchestra - Premiere 4 - 20.2.2026    
DESCRIPTION:Larnaka: Friday 20 February 2026 – Municipal Theatre G. Lycourgos\, 20:30 \nWe are thrilled to welcome back as the featured soloist\, the orchestra’s former principal cellist Peter Gospodinov from where he went on to become solo cellist in the Kuopio Symphony Orchestra in Finland. In this highly engaging programme the CySO also welcomes at the podium the highly reputable Finnish conductor Kalle Kuusava\, winner of prestigious conducting competitions. \nThe evening will open with ‘Interruptions’\, an exciting new work by the distinguished Cypriot composer Charis Sophocleous – a special commission by the CySO Foundation within its collaboration with the Centre of Cypriot composers. According to the composer\, “the work is inspired by the many unwanted interferences that might occur throughout the course of an orchestral work”. \nPeter Gospodinov’s unique artistic temperament will shine in the Cello concerto of yet another distinguished Cypriot composer and member of the CySO\, Constantin Papageorgio. \nCarl Maria von Weber’s Symphony no. 1 will provide a brilliant closure to this memorable concert. Composed when the composer was only 20\, it bursts with youthful energy\, sparkling orchestral colour\, and the adventurous spirit that later defined his operatic style. \n  \nSupporters: Embassy of Finland in Nicosia\, Larnaka Municipality \n  \nPROGRAMME \nHaris SOPHOCLEOUS: ‘Interruptions’ (World premiere – Special commission by the CySO Foundation to the Centre of Cypriot Composers) \nConstantin PAPAGEORGIO: Concerto for cello and orchestra (2022) \nCarl Maria von WEBER: Symphony no.1 in C major\, op.19 \n  \nPeter Gospodinov cello \nKalle Kuusava conductor \nTicket prices: €18 / €14 (concession)\, €13 / €10 (concession) \nConcession tickets are available to: \nStudents\, soldiers\, pensioners\, large and five-member families on presentation of ID. \nFree Entrance for people with disabilities. \n  \nTicket presales: \nLarnaka Municipal Theatre G.
