An orchestral masterpiece exemplifies not only the technical mastery of the composer who brought it to life, but also his passion in harnessing the possibilities inherent in the wonderful kaleidoscope of orchestral colours. In this concert, the refined and expressive austerity of the Baroque, the Classical attention to perfection, the penetrating emotional profusion of Romanticism, and the eclecticism of the twentieth century find common place in the colours, dramatic potential, and brilliance of the classical orchestra. Each piece, exudes the “scent” of the epoch that created it. Conductor Petros Stylianou and the Cyprus Symphony Orchestra are ready to indulge you in a journey through time, through the magical world of orchestral music!
