Classical music lovers in Cyprus are in for a treat this season, as the Cyprus Symphony Orchestra has a full schedule of captivating performances lined up. From concerts to recitals and other musical events, every major city on the island will host these cultural experiences. As the year draws to a close, the highly anticipated festive performances are set to be the highlight, but until then, several exhilarating classical music nights are set to enthrall audiences, featuring renowned soloists and conductors.
This week, the Orchestra welcomes distinguished violinist Alena Baeva and celebrated conductor Zoi Tsokanou for their Starlight 1 concerts. Audiences in Nicosia and Limassol will have the chance to enjoy these performances, taking place at Strovolos Municipal Theatre on Thursday and Pattihio Municipal Theatre on Friday.
A World-Class Violinist and Conductor
Referred to by the New York Classical Review as “a magnetic presence” and “a constantly fascinating sound technician,” Alena Baeva is considered one of the most dynamic and versatile violinists performing on the global stage today. Her collaboration with the Cyprus Symphony Orchestra and the charismatic Zoi Tsokanou—a highly sought-after conductor—will feature a performance of Mendelssohn’s iconic Violin Concerto in E Minor, a piece beloved by many classical music fans.
Romantic Musical Masterpieces
In addition to Mendelssohn’s Violin Concerto, the concert program will include two other gems of Romantic music. The audience will experience the beauty of Felix Mendelssohn’s Die Schöne Melusine, a charming piece that captures the essence of Romantic storytelling, and Louise Farrenc’s Symphony No. 3, a lesser-known yet powerful symphony that perfectly reflects the ideals of the Romantic era.
