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.
