Something to sing about

By Maria Gregoriou

On Tuesday and Friday the Diastasis Cultural Association is celebrating 30 years of music with their vocal ensemble, children’s choir and dance group at the Rialto theatre in Limassol. There will also be a number of guest soloists and musicians sharing their musical talents on stage to perform music and songs from some of the most renowned musicals which have been performed around the world

The soloists who will be filling the Rialto with their great voices are Doros Demosthenous, Riana Athanasiou, and Stefanos Gerogiades. Manolis Neophytou will be at the piano, Doros Panayiotou will be on percussion and Michalis Karkatsanis will be at the accordion.

The two Music Project concerts are part of Diastasis’ From the Start Again series of events. Just as the name suggests, the association is re-visiting most of the music they have performed over the years and invite new generations to listen to it for the first time.

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.
