Piano Recital – Martino Tirimo

Regarded by both critics and fellow artists as one of today’s most distinguished musicians, Martino Tirimo will present some of the greatest works of the classical repertoire: Beethoven’s 7 Ländlerische Tänze WoO11 and Sonata No.32 in C minor Op.111. Schumann’s Fantasy in C major Op.17 and Liszt’s Hungarian Rhapsody No.12.

The Daily Telegraph has characterized him as “a pianist of vision” and “an inspiring poet of the piano” and ‘Musical Opinion’ described him as “a true giant of the keyboard”. In Music and Vision, critic Bill Newman simply wrote: “Tirimo’s playing belongs to a past generation of ‘greats’.

Throughout the evening, one was consistently aware that this supreme musician placed himself entirely at the service of the composer.”

“Sparks of Music”
Concert for two pianos
Works for four and eight hands

The Piano Quartet
Natalia Lezedova, Nina Ioannidou, Ivelina Ruseva and Galina Dimova

The Piano Quartet, comprised of Natalia Lezedova, Nina Ioannidou, Ivelina Ruseva, and Galina Dimova, will be performing their concert “Sparks of Music” on Saturday, February 24, 2024, at 19:00 at the Markideio Theatre in Paphos. The quartet specializes in presenting masterpieces for four and eight hands on two pianos.

The quartet was formed after a successful collaboration during the “Winter Festival” in Paphos in 2017, where the musicians discovered a shared expressive style. Their diverse backgrounds contribute to a multicultural repertoire, encompassing works for four, six, and eight hands. Since then, they have given notable performances at various venues, including the Technopolis 20, ARTE Music Academy, Rialto Theatre in Limassol, Pallas Theatre in Nicosia, Markideio Theatre in Paphos and the Cyprus Wine Museum. Their last concert was within the framework of The Piano Tour, organised by the Avantgarde Foundation. It was held with great success in June 2023, around the area of the sea caves in Pegeia, and at the same time it was broadcast live on the internet.

The programme includes transcriptions for eight hands, such as the overture by Mikhail Glinka’ Ruslan and Ludmila, Waltz from Tchaikovsky’s Sleeping Beauty, William Gillock’s Champagne Toccata and Astor Piazzolla’s iconic work Escualo. Additionally, the quartet commissioned Greek composer Dimitris Tsoukas for a special arrangement of Manos Hadjidakis’ songs, for eight hands on two pianos. The programme also features arrangements for four hands, showcasing pieces from Tchaikovsky’s Nutcracker suite, a transcription of the Cypriot composer Nicolas Economou, Arno Babajanian’s “Armenian Rhapsody”, a selection from Richard Rodney Bennett’s Four Piece Suite, the Prelude from Suite for two pianos, op.6 by Dmitri Shostakovich and “La nuit… L’amour” from Suite No. 1 Op. 5 (Fantaisie-Tableaux) for two pianos by Sergei Rachmaninoff. Finally, Natalia Lezedova’s composition, “The Bumblebee Dance,” will have its world premiere during the concert.

The Piano Quartet was formed to counteract the solitary nature of piano preparation. The members emphasize the collaborative aspect of their performances, where all pianists are equal, sharing the spotlight and working together to create a rich and balanced sound. There are many examples of great pianists who have pursued collaborations with other pianists in their careers, with Nicolas Economou’s ground-breaking collaboration on 1983’s “On Four Pianos” being a prime example.

The upcoming concert promises not only an aural delight but also a visually captivating experience. The quartet encourages audiences not to miss the opportunity to witness the orchestral sound produced by one hundred and seventy-six black and white keys, played by four talented pianists on two pianos.

Limassol Carnival 2024 - 7-17.03.2024
2024-03-07 - 2024-03-17
The Limassol Carnival is the oldest and most popular folk festivity in Limassol but also across Cyprus.To this day, the Carnival remains a strong urban and family tradition for the people of Limassol, a tradition handed down from one generation to the next. The main characteristics of the Carnival festive season are the consumption of meat and wine, satire, dancing and singing – particularly serenades – as well as the masked revellers and costumes.
Nowadays the Carnival festivities depend a great deal on private initiatives, but also on Limassol Municipality, which organises 11 days of festivities that include parades, outdoor dances, costume competitions, visual arts exhibitions, etc. As in the old days, the Carnival festive season officially starts on Shrove Tuesday. On this day the people of Limassol gather at various locations in the town’s historic centre, where they celebrate the traditional season customs, such as the consumption of meat (tsiknomata in Greek), serenading, and makeshift parties. The carnival events, and the merry-making in the taverns, nightclubs and hotels, peak on the two weekends. It is on these two weekends that the children’s parade as well as the main carnival parade are held, with the participation of thousands of carnival-goers, locals and foreigners.
