Soundtrack and narration of the story by Evgenios Trivizas – Cyprus premiere
Actor Petros Georkadjis performs the role of the witch (in Greek)
Rea Olympiou costume designer

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.

Musical composition in Cyprus is thriving, thanks to a bursting array of Cypriot composers bringing a fresh, imaginative perspective to contemporary musical creation on the island.
Under the baton of the rising Cypriot conductor Kyriaki Kountouri, the concert “Cyprophonia 3” will offer audiences a glimpse into the country’s vibrant musical creation, highlighting the works of four Cypriot composers.
Savvas Savva’s Concerto for piano no. 3 has been commissioned by the CySO Foundation and will receive its world premiere with the amazing Cypriot pianist Rami Sadieddine as the soloist – an artist who regularly champions contemporary works. The audience will also have the opportunity to hear the world premieres of ‘Physeos Kelados’ by George Hadjimarkou and ‘Coastal Land’ by Nicos Vichas, as well as the Phanos Dymiotis’ Divertimento. In these works one may appreciate the blending of the classical tradition with modernity and contemporary techniques in unique and compelling ways, whilst in two of them nature is the source of inspiration.
Rounding off the concert are Béla Bartók’s Romanian Folk Dances, and ‘Arodafnousa’ by Alkis Baltas, both paying tribute to folk music traditions of Eastern Europe and Cyprus, respectively.

3rd International Coastal Rowing Beach Sprints LNC Competition - 4-6.4.2025
2025-04-04 08:00 - 2025-04-06 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.
