The concert is jointly organised by the ‘Friends of ARTE Society’ and ‘CultureTones Organisation’ in collaboration with the Goethe Institute in Cyprus. The project is coordinated by DueCapi.

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 as the pianist Martino Tirimo, the poet Thomas Transtromer and the writer Petros Tatsopoulos.

The CultureTones Organisation is a newly founded non – profit cultural organisation based in Limassol that aims to promote classical and contemporary music and performing arts of the highest level and develop a contemporary thinking and a modern approach to art. Beside the collaboration with accomplished and well known artists, CultureTones Organisation gives opportunities to many young and up-and-coming artists to present their work, encouraging development of arts and education in Cyprus. CultureTones Organisation is the organizer of the Avaton International Contemporary Music Festival, a Limassol based festival that has attracted national and international attention.
