In both cases it refers to the destruction by flood of almost all-living creatures in order to give birth to a new and moral generation. The ceremonies last for a few days and take place in all sea side towns. Celebrations include various games, performances of folk dances, swimming competitions, boat races, competitions of popular songs known as “tsattista” and the most popular custom, which is the throwing of water to one another.

CHAMBER MUSIC CONCERTS With the Musicians of the Cyprus Symphony Orchestra The music of the Bohemian Jan Dismas Zelenka (1679-1745) is a relatively recent “discovery” in today’s music world, although during his lifetime he was admired by J.
