An immersive musical experience is in store for the audience in this year’s CySO & CyYSO side-by-side concert, the culmination of a rich and fruitful artistic season. Around one hundred professional and young musicians will join their forces, performing with heightened passion three masterworks, under the baton of the distinguished Cypriot maestro Petros Stylianou.
Τhe concert will open with Nimrod from Edward Elgar’s “Enigma Variations”, a solemn, yet deeply emotional piece of music that conveys the nobility and depth of character of Augustus J. Jaeger, a close friend and supporter of Elgar’s work.
The featured soloist in Camille Saint-Saens’ Cello concerto no. 1 in A minor is the talented young cellist Vasilios Argyridis, principal cellist of the Cyprus Youth Symphony Orchestra. Since its debut in 1873, the concerto has become a cornerstone of the cello repertoire, beloved by both performers and audiences alike for its thrilling blend of passion and technical brilliance.
Rimsky-Korsakov’s captivating symphonic suite Scheherazade, op. 35 – inspired by tales from “One Thousand and One Nights” – is an unsurpassable masterpiece of musical storytelling, mesmerizing the listener with its exotic and sensual atmosphere, evocative themes, and lush orchestration.
