CHAMBER MUSIC CONCERTS
with musicians of the Cyprus Symphony Orchestra


Nicosia: Saturday 7 March 2015, Pallas Theatre, Paphos Gate, 17:00
Paphos: Sunday 8 March 2015, Cultural CentreTechnopolis 20”, 17:00
In collaboration with the Οrganization “European Capital of Culture – Pafos 2017”

The exceptional String Trio made up of the musicians of the Cyprus Symphony Orchestra Orchestra Wolfgang Schroeder (violin), Sorin Alexandru Horlea (viola) and Peter Gospodinov (cello) will give two chamber music concerts within the established series organized by the Cyprus Symphony Orchestra Foundation.

The Trio will interpret Johann Sebastian Bach’s monumental Goldberg Variations, BWV 988 in Sitkovetsky’s arrangement for string trio. The great German composer wrote the Variations for keyboard instrument after a commission from the Russian ambassador to the Dresden court with the request “to be cheered up a little". Bach’s response was a rigorous and inspired work: a set of 30 variations with an amazing range of styles, forms and emotions. This deeply humanistic music speaks to us even more powerfully in today’s troubled times. Join these concerts to enjoy its marvels!

With the present concerts, the established chamber music series of the CySO travels to Paphos for the first time.

Entrance: €5 (adults) / free for under 18
Tickets and free entrance vouchers available from the Pallas Theatre box office, Nicosia 1 hour prior to the concert and from the Cultural Centre “Technopolis 20”, Paphos (tel. 70002420) from Monday 2 March 2015.
