Rhythmic landscapes

When the Cyprus Symphony Orchestra joined forces with Greek singer Alkistis Protopsalti not too long ago for performances on the island it was clear that the audience just couldn’t get enough, and the symphony’s youth orchestra is again ready to welcome Protospalti to sing with them.

There will be two performances under the name Secret Landscape, during which the Diastasis vocal ensemble will be part of the musical triangle. The first will be in Nicosia on Friday and the second in Limassol on Sunday.

Get ready to hear some classical masterpieces from Schubert and catch some contemporary music by a number of Greek composers.

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.
