Get ready for a magical family concert, where the Orchestra’s little friends set off on a fun-filled journey into the world of stories and imagination! With the delightful voices of Giorgis Christodoulou and Eleonora Roussou leading the way, and the Cyprus Symphony Orchestra under the baton of Alkis Baltas, music and storytelling come together in the most exciting way. Joining us on this adventure are three charming heroes: an ugly prince, a speedy rabbit, and a determined turtle!
A person’s beauty lies not in physical appearance, but in the kindness of the heart. The tale “The Ugly Prince” – written by Galateia Kazantzaki, first wife of Nicos Kazantzakis – reminds us of this great truth. Conductor and composer Alkis Baltas has lovingly adapted the text and curated the incidental music to the tale which comprises Franz Schubert’s “Unfinished” Symphony no. 8 and his German Dance in Anton Webern’s arrangement.
The story of Aesop’s well-known fable “The Hare and the Tortoise” is simple and fun. The speedy hare and the slow, steady tortoise decide to have a race. But who do you think will win? Through this tale, Aesop (625–560 BC) shows us that it’s not good to be boastful, and we should never underestimate anyone or make fun of others who may seem weaker. He also reminds us that being strong or fast is not enough to win in life. What really helps us reach our goals is patience and keeping on trying, no matter what!
In between the storytelling, a selection of beloved songs by Mikis Theodorakis, Spyridon Xyndas, Costas Cacoyannis, Dimitris Maragkopoulos and Alkis Baltas will be heard, as well as a traditional song from the Dodecanese and two songs by George Hadjipieris from the much-loved song series “The Lazy Dragon.” The orchestration is by Alkis Baltas, while the story of the fable has been adapted by Vicky Stylianou. Images and short videos will be shown on screen during the musical story!

With the Ancient olive tree as a symbol and source of inspiration, and its unique olive oil, 26 exhibitors, producers, artists, educators, and musicians will welcome you to Paramali on October the 12th, in a unique festival that honors the Ancient olive trees in every way.

The PREMIERE 2 concerts bring together two internationally acclaimed artists: the globally revered Cypriot pianist Martino Tirimo, praised for his great interpretative depth and formidable technique, and the conductor Panayiotis Papadopoulos, celebrated for blending rhythmic precision with passionate nuance in his interpretations.

Mozart’s Overture to Così fan tutte sparkles with wit and elegance, setting a vibrant tone for the programme ahead. Mikalojus Konstantinas Čiurlionis was a seminal figure of Lithuanian culture. This year marks the 150th anniversary of the birth of this prolific visual artist and composer, renowned for uniquely blending the two art forms.

Johannes Brahms’ started composing his Piano concerto no. 1 in D minor at the tender age of 21 overwhelmed by the heartbreaking suicide attempt of his mentor and close friend Robert Schumann, completing it five years later. It is an awe-inspiring, intensely emotional work of staggering proportions. The young composer poured his heart and soul into every note of this concerto, from its thunderous opening to its intimate moments of reflection.

Art Explora Festival - 25.10-4.11.2025
2025-10-25 10:00 - 2025-11-04 21:00 (Asia/Nicosia)
For its final stop of 2025, the Art Explora Festival and its one-of-a-kind museum boat will dock in Limassol from October 25 to November 4
The Art Explora Festival was created in 2024 with the vision of bringing art and culture closer to as many people as possible. This pioneering travelling festival sails across seas and oceans on board the world’s first museum boat, offering the public free access to innovative artistic and cultural experiences. These experiences are offered both on the boat itself and at selected venues in the host cities. Its programme includes visual art exhibitions, sound and multimedia installations, virtual reality experiences, concerts, dance performances, discussions, and workshops.
Having already welcomed more than 300,000 visitors during its Mediterranean stopovers – in Valletta (Malta), Venice (Italy), Marseille (France), Tangier and Rabat (Morocco), Málaga (Spain), Durrës (Albania), Nice (France), Rijeka (Croatia), and Athens (Greece) – the festival is now making its way to Cyprus, with Limassol as its final destination for 2025.
From October 25 to November 4, 2025, the festival will take place in Limassol, with visits on board the iconic museum boat available until November 2.
The programming is curated by The Island Club, a non-profit exhibition space based in Limassol, founded in 2017 by artist Christodoulos Panayiotou and directed by musician and curator Androula Kafa since 2019. Their aim, in their own words, is “to strengthen and promote local artistic creation while building networks with international cultural institutions.”
On the experience, Frédéric Jousset, Chairman of Art Explora, states :
“Mobility and artistic creation are powerful tools to help challenge perspectives and share images and stories to create different relationships with the world. Boarding a boat is an experience in itself; it’s even more remarkable when you find unique artistic and cultural endeavours on that boat, as well as quayside.”
Art Explora Festival Programme in Limassol (25 October – 4 November)

2025-11-01 18:00 - 21:00 (Asia/Nicosia) | Dali Amphitheater, 1 Eveggelou Floraki Street, Dali, 2540, Cyprus
Diwali, or Deepavali, is one of India’s most celebrated festivals — a five-day celebration that transcends regions, religions, and languages. It symbolizes the victory of light over darkness, knowledge over ignorance, and good over evil. Homes across India come alive with the glow of diyas (lamps), bursts of fireworks, and the warmth of family gatherings. It’s a time to renew bonds, share sweets, wear new clothes, and spread joy. Beyond its traditions, Diwali represents optimism — a collective reminder that no matter how dark the night, light always returns.

Ruth Killius viola
Thomas Zehetmair violin /conductor
The Cyprus Symphony Orchestra proudly shares the stage with two internationally acclaimed artists: the violinist and conductor Thomas Zehetmair, founder of the celebrated Zehetmair Quartet and former Music Director of the Orchestre de Chambre de Paris and his long-time musical partner, renowned violist Ruth Killius, celebrated for the emotional intensity of her interpretations and rich, refined tone.
The exceptional duo will showcase their interpretative artistry and exceptional musical chemistry in Benjamin Britten’s emotionally charged Double Concerto in B minor for violin, viola and orchestra. The concerto brings forth a compelling dialogue between the two soloists and the orchestra, exploring rich textures and dramatic contrasts.
Britten’s concerto will be preceded by Mozart’s radiant Symphony no. 31 in D major, ‘Paris’, a sparkling and charming work, composed to captivate the sophisticated audiences of 18th-century France.
The concert will conclude with Mozart’s Symphony no. 36 in C major, ‘Linz’, bursting with joyful energy and festive grandeur. It is truly astonishing that Mozart composed it in just four days upon receiving an unexpected invitation for a concert during his stopover at Linz.

Crafting Continuity Fashion Exhibition - 7-9.11.2025
2025-11-07 17:00 - 2025-11-09 23:00 (Asia/Nicosia) | The Picnic, Asklipiou 36, Nicosia, 1011, Cyprus
The Fashion Heritage Network Cyprus (FHNC) proudly presents Crafting Continuity, a three-day bi-communal exhibition reimagining Cyprus’ rich traditions through the lens of sustainable contemporary fashion and design. Taking place 7–9 November 2025 at The Picnic in Nicosia, this year’s showcase continues FHNC’s mission to bridge cultural heritage and innovation while empowering the next generation of Cypriot designers.
Organized by the Fashion Heritage Network Cyprus (FHNC), Crafting Continuity invites visitors to discover a new chapter in the island’s fashion heritage — one where traditional craft meets modern creativity. The exhibition brings together young Cypriot designers and master artisans from across Cyprus and the diaspora, united by a shared passion for preserving and reinterpreting traditional techniques for a more sustainable future.
Showcasing the results of months of mentorship and collaboration, each designer has worked alongside skilled artisans to learn endangered crafts such as land-loom weaving, Lefkara and Lapithos embroidery, and basketry. The outcome is a series of original, forward-looking fashion pieces that celebrate Cyprus’ cultural identity while pushing the boundaries of contemporary design.
As part of the exhibition, FHNC will also launch the inaugural issue of its independent publication, Defteri. Created to preserve and reimagine Cyprus’s fashion heritage, Defteri is a multidisciplinary magazine that blends sustainability, cultural memory, and creativity through essays, interviews, and visual narratives. Developed by a collective of writers, designers, and cultural practitioners from across Cyprus and the diaspora, Defteri amplifies the voices shaping the island’s evolving craft culture and will be unveiled during the exhibition’s opening night.
FHNC’s vision is to combine ethics and aesthetics, reviving and safeguarding Cyprus’ fashion heritage while inspiring younger generations to integrate heritage into conscious, sustainable creation. “Crafting Continuity offers a unique opportunity to experience how centuries-old techniques are evolving into future-facing fashion” says Christina Dymioti, Director of the FHNC.
Built on the belief that cultural knowledge and craftsmanship are essential to community resilience, environmental awareness, and intergenerational connection, this exhibition
highlights the deep sustainability already embedded in Cypriot heritage — from natural dyeing to reuse, repair, and upcycling.
Beyond a celebration of craft and design, Crafting Continuity also deepens bi-communal collaboration and youth engagement, connecting designers and artisans from across divided communities and the global Cypriot diaspora. These partnerships keep traditions alive while fostering dialogue, creativity, and collective cultural pride.

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.

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.
