A Silent World: The Art of Memory in Ancient Paphos - 8.11.2025
2025-11-08 16:00 - 19:00 (Asia/Nicosia) | Episkopi (Paphos) Environmental Centre, Pafos, Episkopi, 8524, Cyprus
The Episkopi Paphos Environmental Ctr is honoured to host Dr Efstathios Raptou, Archaeological Officer A’, Department of Antiquities, Cyprus. He will guide us along on a fascinating journey of the funerary art in ancient Hellenistic and Roman Paphos
Dr Raptou offers a taste of what we can look forward to: “Funerary architecture and the objects placed within tombs often stand among the most remarkable artistic achievements of their time. They do not only reflect the architectural styles and aesthetic preferences of the living but also incorporate symbolic and religious elements connected to beliefs about the afterlife. These monuments reveal insights into social hierarchy, cultural values and ritual practices, offering a window into the society, spiritual life and collective memory of ancient Paphos.”
This presentation will be in English with Greek transcript available to follow along. Discussion during Q & A time will be in Greek & English.
Entry €6 per person. Reservations are highly recommended as space is limited: epeicentre.com/contact or +357 26 642234, mornings.

Chamber Music 2 - TRIO MILONGUERO Argentinian Tango - 8.11.2025
2025-11-08 20:00 - 21:30 (Asia/Nicosia) | Municipality Theatre G. Lykourgos, Municipal Gardens, Larnaka, Larnaka, 6021, Cyprus
Trio Milongero was formed in 2024 by three distinguished Cypriot musicians: Nicos Ioannou – principal double bass of the CySO, guitarist Vasileios Avraam and accordionist Fotis Mousoulidis. Globally, it is perhaps the second ensemble with this combination of instruments, which makes it unique and fascinating in terms of the timbres mixture.
The Trio will present works by the Argentinian composer Máximo Diego Pujol, in which he combines traditional tango with classical and contemporary elements. Influenced by Astor Piazzolla, his music is characterized by strong melodies, tempo and rhythm alternations, and a particularly expressive use of the guitar and the bandoneon (accordion), thus conveying the passion and melancholy of the Argentinian tango.
Pujol’s works also incorporate elements of the milonga and the waltz, whilst maintaining the dance and narrative character of the music of Buenos Aires.
Trio Milonguero’s programme features stunning pieces such as ‘Gris de madrugada’, ‘Maria Rosario’, ‘Tangazo a medianoche’ and ‘Estacion Retiro’, among others.

CYPRUS SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA - PREMIERE 3 - 19.11.2025
2025-11-19 20:30 - 22:00 (Asia/Nicosia) | Pallas Theatre, 24 Rigainis, Nicosia, 1513, Cyprus
Lefkosia: Wednesday 19 November 2025 – Pallas Theatre, Pafos Gate, 20:30
Described as “one of the most versatile conductors of our time,” Paul Goodwin is an internationally renowned expert in historically informed performance. Passionate about bringing deep period-style insight to modern orchestras, he leads the CySO in a vibrant programme of works by the Bach family and Haydn.
Τhe concert features three highly distinguished musicians of the Cyprus Symphony Orchestra as soloists. Violinist Sorin Alexandru Horlea will perform Johann Sebastian Bach’s brilliant Violin concerto in E major, BWV 1042 — a vibrant and virtuosic work shaped by Italian influences, particularly the style of Vivaldi. CySO principal oboist Simeon Spasov together with violinist Constantinos Anastasiades will interpret Bach’s expressive Double concerto for oboe and Violin in D minor, BWV 1060, which develops a richly rewarding musical dialogue between the two soloists.
The concert will open with Johann Christian Bach’s Symphony in G minor, op. 6, no. 6 — a striking work of emotional depth and drama, infused with the Sturm und Drang style, and highlighting his pivotal role as a bridge between the Baroque and Classical eras.
The evening will conclude with Joseph Haydn’s Symphony no. 82 in C major, nicknamed ‘The Bear’. The first of his Paris Symphonies, the work brims with energy, elegance, and a finale that playfully evokes the rhythm of a dancing bear.

2026-03-14 10:00 - 2026-03-17 23:30 UTC | Oroklini Picnic Area, Oroklini picknic area, Larnaka, Oroklini, Cyprus
The Cyprus Backyard Ultra (CBU) is a thrilling last-person-standing race that pushes runners to their absolute limits. Inspired by the iconic Big Dog’s Backyard Ultra, this event combines relentless endurance, mental fortitude, and the breathtaking beauty of Cyprus into an unforgettable challenge.
As one of the very few ultra races on the island, and likely the only one that lasts this long in both distance and time, CBU stands out as a unique test of human endurance.
Race Format:
– Runners start together and must complete a 6.706-kilometer loop within one hour.
– Those who finish early must wait at the start line until the next loop begins.
– No breaks or outside assistance are allowed during the loop, rest is only permitted between loops.
– As the race progresses, each loop becomes a grueling test of physical stamina and mental resilience.
– The event continues until only one runner remains.
The Challenge:
With no set finish line, the Cyprus Backyard Ultra is a true battle of pacing, recovery, and sheer determination. The last runner standing after all others have DNF’d (Did Not Finish) is crowned the winner.
Set against the stunning landscape of Oroklini, Larnaca, which combines breathtaking views of the sea from a hill, this race is not just about endurance, it’s about camaraderie, pushing boundaries, and creating memories that last a lifetime.
