Within the Larnaka Festival of Classical Music 2015
The Cyprus Symphony Orchestra treats the public to a Beethoven journey, and offers a rare opportunity to enjoy some of the “hidden treasures” of the composer: little known works which deserve wider hearing, such as the 12 German Dances and the Rondo for piano and orchestra. Next to them, a number of well known works such as the Coriolan Overture and the Choral Fantasy, an impressive work which foreshadows the “Ode to Joy” for voicing a message for peace and joy through the beauty of the arts.
