Musical Synergies, Cyprus – Russia A concert with one of the many waltzes by Chopin, as well as his Piano concerto no.2, the first one he wrote, in 1830, which abounds with sensual ornamentation, bewitching harmonies, and unmistakable references to Polish folk music. As for Shchedrin’s Carmen suite, this came into existence in a rather roundabout fashion, after the composer was asked for a new ballet featuring Prosper Mérimée’s fiery heroine. Shchedrin however found it impossible to think of the story without Bizet’s famous tunes going through his head, so in the end
he decided to exploit the original opera, describing the process as “a creative meeting of minds”. But this was the Soviet Union in the late 60’s, and after the first performance it was banned by the authorities as “insulting to Bizet’s masterpiece”. It took Shostakovich’s intervention to get the ballet back on the approved list, and it’s since become Shchedrin’s best-known work.

Two subjects - One exhibition The Collection Gallery is showcasing the artworks of George Gavriel who presents two themes, as the title suggests. It is "spiritual" and also addressed to the senses.

This theme is a review of the new order of things as we experience today, given through an experimental approach.

Beethoven: Complete works for violoncello and piano - Part II Péter Somodari | violoncello Nicolas Costantinou | piano The composition of sonatas for piano and cello was unthinkable before Beethoven; up until then, the cello would mainly provide the bass line. Moreover, this particular combination posed various difficulties as the piano would often outweigh the low notes of the cello and balance between the two instruments is always precarious. Beethoven was the first composer to tackle these challenges (his example was not followed until 1824). The works for piano and cello are representative of the three periods of Beethoven’s artistic creation: the 'classical' (WoO 45, 46, opp. 5, 66), the 'heroic' (op. 69) and the 'late' (op. 102). Inspired by the unmatched capabilities of various renowned cellists and his own abilities as a virtuoso pianist, the sonatas not only represented an example par excellence for the subsequent generation of composers, but they also pose tremendous challenges for cellists and pianists alike. Venue: Pallas Theatre (Rigainis and Arsinois Str., Pafos Gate, Old Lefkosia) Time: 19:30 - 21:00 Entrance: €15 at the Door|€10 LMS members, pensioners, students & soldiers|Free for -15yrs Information and Reservations: T. +357 22352355, ledramusic.org 7
