FROM CYPRIOT MUSIC TO BACH by Collegium Cyprium
Attikon Theatre, Paphos
17 June- 8pm
Entrance €5
The Paphos House of Arts and Letters will hold a charity concert entitled: "From Cypriot folk music, to Johann Sebastian Bach".
The evening is dedicated to the memory of Panayiotis Nikolaou, a Cypriot folk violinist – an authentic violinist of our tradition on the occasion of the completion of 100 years since his birth.
The concert aspires to unite two seemingly opposite musical worlds.
In the first part, the Cypriot men's dances for violin and lute will alternate with movements from the third part in E major by Johann Sebastian Bach. Thus, the living energy of the Cypriot tradition will converse with the genius of Baroque music.
The dances will also be accompanied by two dancers of the Folklore Club "Ktima", giving the kinetic dimension of this tradition.
In the second part, the Collegium Cyprium will perform Bach's famous Air and then Cypriot folk songs elaborated for string quartet and voice.
The concert will take place on Wednesday, June 17 at the Attikon Theater Paphos at 20:00.
Entrance €5
Sponsor of the concert: Municipality of Paphos.
