Michalis Economou conductor
With performances in such legendary venues as Covent Garden and La Scala, soprano Camilla Tilling has established herself as a world-class opera singer. Possessing a “beguiling tone and unfailing musicality” (Gramophone, 2020), Tilling will mesmerize the audience with exquisite arias from Mozart’s Le nozze di Figaro and Cosi fan tutte, and the nostalgic Solveig’s song from Grieg’s Peer Gynt Suite.
Under the firm baton of the superb maestro Michalis Economou, the concert holds more enchanting musical gems that transport us to imaginative lands: from the dramatic intensity and tranquil beauty of Barber’s Adagio for strings, to Sibelius’ evocative lyricism in Pélleas et Mélisande, and Bizet’s serene depiction of the Provence landscapes in the Adagietto from L’ Arlésienne suite.

Theme:
In the Coastlines exhibition, artist Ioanna Epaminondou invites viewers to encounter the shorelines of her island, framing coastal landscapes as a sanctuaries – spaces for empathy, renewal, and undisturbed connection. Through her work, Ioanna draws upon the lines and colors of the coast and sea as metaphors for life’s fluidity: boundaries that are ever-present but never fixed. The sea, always in motion, becomes a symbol of endless possibility and change.
It is, after all, “the sea that saves me”, as she whispers—a quiet force calling anyone to embrace tranquility, to meet ourselves and others in peace.

The exhibition will include a series of paintings and prints created with oil paints.

The concert opens with the intensely dramatic Overture to Mozart’s Don Giovanni followed by his delightful and virtuosic Rondo for Piano and Orchestra. After Schumann heard 17-year-old Chopin’s Variations on ‘Là ci darem la mano’ for piano and orchestra, he exclaimed: ‘Hats off, gentlemen, a genius!’ The piece is a dazzling showcase of lyrical beauty and technical prowess. The Orchestra is delighted to share the stage with the renowned pianist Paolo Restani, a true piano master, as the soloist in both these works.
Mendelssohn’s vibrant and picturesque Symphony no. 4, known as the ‘Italian’, a work bursting with joy and the warmth of the Mediterranean concludes this magical musical evening.

Repetitive Acts The Power of Weaving and Textile in Contemporary Art - 6.12.2024-26.4.2025
2024-12-06 - 2025-04-26 | NIMAC, 19 Palaias Ilektrikis, Lefkosia, Nicosia, 1016, Cyprus
The exhibition “Repetitice Acts: The power of weaving and textile in contemporary art” explores the enduring power of weaving as a medium of communication, storytelling, and resistance. From ancient Peruvian textiles to contemporary Afghan “War Rugs”, textiles have served as a silent yet eloquent transmitter of meaning and memory. This exhibition brings weaving’s legacy into the present, showing how contemporary artists from Cyprus transcend its domestic associations to become a space for political, cultural, and personal expression. The act of making, the repetitive patterns, and the ritual of repetition in the process are all equally significant.

3rd International Coastal Rowing Beach Sprints LNC Competition - 4-6.4.2025
2024-12-06 08:00 - 17:00 | Parekklisia Beach / Malindi Beach, St. Raphael Marina, Limassol, Cyprus
A Beach Sprint Coastal rowing race, is an exciting and dynamic rowing race that takes place in the sea near a beach. Unlike traditional rowing races that take place in calm waters, coastal rowing races add an extra level of excitement by wading through waves, currents and potentially rough weather.
Here is a description of what such a race might entail:
**Location:**
The race is usually run along a scenic coastline, incorporating the natural elements of the open sea. The start and finish points are located on the beach and rowers launch their boats directly from the shore.
** Boats:**
Coastal rowing boats are designed to handle the unpredictable nature of the sea. These boats are sturdier than their calm water counterparts, often featuring wider hulls, reinforced construction and greater stability
**What does Beach Sprints mean?**
The race starts from the beach, 30-50 meters away from where the wave breaks. The rowers (two athletes at a time) start from the beach sprinting, enter the boat and row between buoys for 250 meters, make the final turn (360 degrees), return to the beach and sprint out of the boat to finish before from their teammate who has done exactly the same course on parallel buoys.
**Challenges:**
Rowers face challenges such as changing winds and potentially choppy waters, making the race both physically demanding and mentally engaging. Adaptability to ever-changing coastal conditions becomes a critical aspect of success.
In other words, a sprint race on the beach combines the athleticism and teamwork of traditional rowing with the unpredictable and exciting elements of coastal waters, creating an exciting and visually captivating sporting event.

Alkis Baltas conductor, selection of classical music, original compositions, arrangements/orchestrations
Τhe Cyprus Symphony Orchestra, the ΣymhpoΠedia and Cyprus Youth Symphony Orchestra Choirs, and the actor Petros Georkadjis will present the Cyprus premiere of this production whereby the popular, witty Christmas story by Evgenios Trivizas is brought to life through music and narration, under the direction of the CySO honourary conductor and composer, Alkis Baltas.
This will be a fresh production with an emphasis on theatricality, in order to best bring out the action and humour of the story. The actor Petros Georkadjis plays the role of a present-day witch, whose costume was specially designed for this production by Rea Olympiou.
The soundtrack that accompanies the narration consists of excerpts from various classical works by Mussorgsky, Borodin, Mozart, Mendelssohn, and other composers, as well as brief new compositions by Alkis Baltas, who took various Greek carols (Crete, Corfu, Macedonia, Cyprus) and arranged them for chorus and orchestra.
A tale full of magic spells, adventure and an unexpected metamorphosis that will warm everyone’s hearts.
And the story goes like this…
The witch Freakadella hates everything that is good…. especially… Christmas carols! When children sing them at Christmastime she gets furious and turns them into frogs, ducklings, kittens and other animals. Still, even in their new form, children keep on singing the Carols. After various adventures, the children manage to change Freakadella’s mind and heart…
The concerts are held in collaboration with Radiomarathon
It is with special honour that the CySO Foundation collaborates for these concerts with Radiomarathon. Ιn support of this charitable institution, before and after the concerts, at the entrance hall of all three theatres there will be a bazaar with various items for sale.

The exhibition unveils a hidden work by Titian, concealed beneath the famous painting Ecce Homo (1570). This discovery was made possible through advanced technology and scientific methods pioneered by the Andreas Pittas Art Characterization Laboratories (APAC Labs). The hidden artwork, the portrait of a man, was revealed using cutting-edge technology, whereas the results of this process were utilised by visual artist and rector of the Athens School of Fine Arts, Erato Hadjisavva, to recreate the painting. This groundbreaking method highlighted the intrinsic connection between art and science, paving the way for new artistic approaches.
Cultural heritage, science, technology, and contemporary artistic practices converge in the Unseen Gaze exhibition: a rare opportunity for visitors to delve into the technical analysis of the painting, understand the relationship between the original work and its modern recreation (1570 & 2024), as well as to witness how technology can unveil artistic secrets hidden for centuries.
