A musical journey from Mozart to Mendelssohn

Some of Western civilization’s most classic symphonies will be showcased at an upcoming family concert at the Pallas Theatre by the Cyprus Symphony Orchestra (CySO).

The concert will include works by four German-speaking composers, two Germans and two Austrians, with excerpts from four symphonies that present a different mood and character being presented:
Mozart’s Symphony no. 35 in D major
Mendelssohn’s Symphony no. 1 in C minor
Beethoven’s Symphony no. 2 in D major
Schubert’s Symphony 2 in Bb major
Mendelssohn’s ‘Hebrides Overture’

The conductor and presenter of the concert is Petros Stylianou, and the concert is open to individuals of all ages.

CySO is a non-profit organisation which was founded in 2006, with the aim of developing and promoting the art of orchestral music and to improve musical life and education on the island, as well as involving society in musical activities.

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.
