In this concert, the Cyprus Symphony Orchestra under the baton of Yiorgos Kountouris shares the stage with the new generation, hosting two young rising soloists: the charismatic 14-year-old violinist Ela Kallides and the amazing 16-year-old pianist Panagiotis Drakopoulos.
This collaboration is made even more special by a programme of pure romanticism, featuring works by Franz Liszt, Pablo de Sarasate and Maurice Ravel in which emotions and passion are given full reign, and a piece by Cypriot composer George Kolias for good measure. Ela Kallides will give us her own interpretation of the scintillating gypsy spirit through the works Gypsy airs by the Spanish composer Pablo de Sarasate and Tzigane by the French composer Maurice Ravel. Panagiotis Drakopoulos will be interpreting the 1st Piano concerto by Franz Liszt, a highly demanding work, both emotionally and technically.
This is an intergenerational musical alchemy you should not miss!
