Christmas Concert with Berlin's Philharmonic Orchestra Soloists

Following their successful autumn concert in October, Cyprus Chamber Orchestra is ready to get back on a stage, for a Christmas concert on Monday December 17th at 20:30, at Pallas Theater in Nicosia.

The artistic directors of the orchestra, Nihat Agdac and Natalie Neophytou, will be sharing the stage with twenty professional Greek and Turkish Cypriots musicians performing Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart Sinfonia Concertante for violin, viola and orchestra and the Joseph Haydn ‘’Farewell» Symphony. Soloists of the night will be Marlene Ito and Martin von der Nahmer, from the Berliner Philharmoniker.

The orchestra has no conductor, which allows the musicians to work as close as possible to each other for the sake of the ensemble, music and their partnership. Cyprus Chamber Orchestra is also aiming to emphasize the fact that music connects people, regardless of ethnic background, colour, nationality and social status, through the power of music.

Tickets to the concert are available, at Palace Theatre ticket offices for the price of 10 euros. For bookings call the Cyprus Chamber Orchestra at 97804219, +05338603715 and 22410181(Pallas Theatre).

The concert is supported by the German Embassy is Cyprus, while the media sponsor of the event is CYBC.

Cyprus Chamber Orchestra is a non-profit organization that brings together Greek and Turkish Cypriot musicians to produce music of the highest level and perform around the island and abroad, promoting peace in Cyprus through the power of the music. Natalie and Nihat developed this idea in London, where they were studying at the prestigious music institutes Royal Academy of Music & Guildhall School of Music and Drama. After receiving the ‘Stelios Cyprus Bicommunal Award 2016-2017, Cyprus Chamber Orchestra, the first bi-communal classical music orchestra in Cyprus, has reached a large number of audience members whom fully packed up the Pallas Theatre, Kasteliotissa, Bedesten and Bellapais at their highly successful concerts during the winter, spring and summer. #UnitedByMusic, a joint concert where the CCO artists played side by side with the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra artists as part of Pafos2017, was watched live by almost 2000 people and was clicked more than 40,000 times online which brought a wide international attention to the Cyprus Chamber Orchestra.
