About the event:
Plektó duet is an ensemble formed by Cypriot musicians Eva Stavrou on flute and Natasa Hadjiandreou on percussion.The ensemble’s goal is to showcase the work of important composers of the 20th and 21st century to a wide audience, both in Cyprus and abroad, as well as to promote the characteristic timbres and extended techniques of our instruments. Plektó duet is involved, and very much interested in interdisciplinary projects, with the aim of expanding the boundaries of Art into an ever-changing society. One of their primary aims is educational action since both members, as educators, work on projects that actively involve students in the process of composing and performing musical pieces.
Plektó duet has received grants from competitive calls from the Cyprus Youth Board, the Bank of Cyprus Cultural Foundation and has organized concerts with great success at the Dance House Nicosia, the Cultural Foundation Bank of Cyprus, European University Cyprus and Technopolis20.Upcoming projects include premiering pieces from Cypriot composers organized by the Centre of Cypriot Composers, performing new pieces at Artos Cultural Foundation and organizing a workshop at Fengaros Music Village in Cyprus.

The use of new technologies is now an integral part of our daily lives. So it is in music. The concert presents one of the most popular music genres in the world today, mainly for young people. That is, electronic music. Electronic music began in the late 19th century, with the first experimental sounds being the dominant musical genre of the time. In parallel with the evolution of technology, composers introduce new sounds into their compositions using computers to experiment in new sound directions. The repertoire presents works by Tejera, Eötvös, Cangelosi, Sener and Jodlowski, in which the timbres of "classical" instruments merge with that of pre-recorded and processed sounds (electronics). Tonight's performances are national premieres.
