We are delighted to invite you to the piano and violin concert featuring violinist Lyusi Hovhannesyan and pianist David Anastasiou, who come together for a refined evening of Romantic and early-20th-century works. The recital will take place on the 9th of January, 20:00 at Technopolis 20 in Paphos. The recital is underwritten by luthier Marios Pavlou who has kindly provided an instrument to Miss Hovhannesyan for this recital. Mr Pavlou will also make a short presentation regarding the art of violin offering audiences an opportunity to hear his instruments live in a full recital setting.
