Never before in classical music history has there been a concert especially written for 10 pianists and an orchestra. Until now. The Cyprus Steinway Club and the Ministry of Education and Culture are proving to be true pioneers in Cyprus’ cultural scene.
IT’S STILL hot, but the summer’s over. The kids are back at school, and there are no more holidays scheduled for another three months. Sound familiar?

It’s not that I want to be tepid. No-one likes a review that begins A, B and C but also on the other hand D, E and F. So which is it, Mr. Restaurant Reviewer? Is this a recommendation or isn’t it? Should I go, or avoid? Alas, the sad truth is that most restaurants are neither insanely great nor absolutely hideous. In fact, they’re somewhere in between.
IT’S that time of the year again. Evening arrives earlier every day. The blazing heat is starting to subside. You can’t even look at another ice-cream without feeling sick. The end of summer is here. For some of us this will be a relief, for others, it means back to the routine again.

The Cyprus Mail is the only English-language daily newspaper published in Cyprus. It was established in 1945 and today, with its popular and widely-read website, the Cyprus Mail is among the most trusted news sites in Cyprus. The newspaper is not affiliated with any political parties and has always striven to maintain its independence. Over the past 70-plus years, the Cyprus Mail, with a small dedicated team, has covered momentous events in Cyprus’ modern history, chronicling the last gasps of British colonial rule, Cyprus’ truncated independence, the coup and Turkish invasion, and the decades of negotiations to stitch the divided island back together, plus a myriad of scandals, murders, and human interests stories that capture the island and its -people. Observers describe it as politically conservative.
