A piano, cello and a voice perform classics

Classical pianist Tatiana Stupak will return to Technopolis 20 Cultural Centre with cellist Robert Grod and soprano Alysa Kuchinskaya on Friday to perform a classical concert with works by Chopin, Bach, Debussy, Tchaikovsky, Faure, Dvorak, Mozart, Schubert, Antonio Caldara and Vincenzo Di Chiara.

Stupak started piano lessons at the age of five and went on to study at the Rimsky-Korsakov State Conservatory in St Petersburg. She has won a Bach international competition and an organ international competition in Russia. The pianist, who is now based in Cyprus, has performed in Austria and Germany as well as Russia. She has performed as a solo pianist and as an accompanist for other musicians during her time on the island.

Grod, from Lithuania, studied in Vilnius at the Balys Dvarionas music school and he is a laureate prize winner of the Dvarionas and Urba music competitions in Lithuania. He completed his studies at the Moscow State Conservatory in 2016 and since then has been working in Nicosia for the Cyprus Young String Soloists.

Kuchinskaya, also from Lithuania, began piano lessons at the age of six. After ten years dedicated to the piano, she turned to singing classical music and studied at the Juozas Gruodis Conservatory in Kaunas for two years. Her studies continued at the Lithuanian Academy of Music and Theatre in Vilnius, from which she graduated with honours. She has participated in many concerts in her home town, at the Kaunas State Musical Theatre. After moving to Cyprus, she has continued her performances.

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.
