Piano Recital with Martino Tirimo

This event has been postponed

We are delighted to announce our upcoming concert featuring the world – famous Cypriot pianist Martino Tirimo. The recital will take place at the Archontiko Technon (ARTE) on Tuesday, 2 April 2013 at 20:30.

The ‘Friends of ARTE Society’ is a non profit cultural organisation that promotes several events in order to give a new prospective into the cultural scene of Cyprus. The society gives opportunities to several young artists (painters, musicians, actors etc) to present their work and also combines together different genres bringing together all different forms of Art. So far, it has hosted some very important personalities such the poet Thomas Transtromer.

Martino was born in Larnaca, Cyprus. He won the Liszt Scholarship to the Royal Academy of Music at sixteen, going on to graduate with the highest honors; in 1971 and 1972 winning the International Piano Competitions in Munich and Geneva launched his international career. He has appeared with many of the world's orchestras, including the major British orchestras and those in Berlin, Cleveland, Dresden, Leipzig, Prague and Vienna. With the Dresden Philharmonic he directed several cycles of Beethoven's five piano concertos from the keyboard in various concert halls in Germany and the Royal Festival Hall, London. In 2002 Tirimo formed the Rosamunde Trio, with whom he has since toured. Tirimo has made over 50 recordings, including the complete works of Mozart with the Leipzig Gewandhaus Orchestra in 2006.
