CYPRUS SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA – STARLIGHT 3 – 16.1.2026

Lefkosia: Friday 16 January 2026 – Nicosia Municipal Theatre, 20:30

To kick off the new year, two internationally acclaimed artists join the CySO in Starlight 3 concerts. Celebrated soprano Miah Persson, admired for her luminous voice and expressive depth, continues to captivate audiences worldwide. At the podium, Wolfram Christ – former Principal Viola of the Berlin Philharmonic and now an active conductor with leading European ensembles—brings his refined musical insight and distinctive artistic leadership.

The programme opens with Fanny Mendelssohn’s vibrant Overture in C major, a radiant, finely crafted work that showcases her remarkable command of vibrant orchestral colour. The concert’s highlight are the two showcase moments for soprano Miah Persson: Mozart’s enchantingly lyrical ‘Deh vieni non tardar’ and Beethoven’s impressively poignant and powerful dramatic scena ‘Ah! Perfido’. The concert concludes with Beethoven’s spirited Symphony no. 8, a masterful blend of wit, clarity, and symphonic brilliance.
