Spanish rhythms

Under the baton of Iulian Rusu and with soloist Theodore Kerkezos on the saxophone, the Cyprus Symphony Orchestra will present a programme of Spanish and Latin American Rhythms, entitled Vivid Dance Rhythms on Thursday in Paphos and on Friday in Nicosia.

The orchestra is hoping to capture the audience’s imagination and get them moving to the Spanish and Latin American rhythms while performing five pieces.

Emmanuel Chabrier’s Habanera will make us sway while Astor Piazzolla’s Tango Suite will bring to life the passion of a tango. Alberto Williams’ Primera suite Argentina, Manuel de Falla’s caustically satirical Three-Cornered Hat and the passionate Ritual Fire Dance from Love the Magician, will all lend themselves to an evening of fiery enjoyment and blazing orchestral fun.

Vivid Dance Rhythms
Performance by the Cyprus Symphony Orchestra. April 7. Palia Ilektriki Cultural Centre, Paphos. 8.30pm. €12/7. Tel: 22-463101

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.
