About the event:
Two classical quintets, the Quintus Ensemble and the Chamber Fusion Quintet unite to underline global character of traditional Cypriot music, guided by the arrangements of Neoklis Neophytides.
Traditional melodies that include the wedding cycle (“Wedding Song”, “The Bride and Groom dance”), the dance cycle (“The Dance of the Sickle”, “Mandra”, “Karotseris”), and sog cycle (“My basil”, “Red goat”, “Four plus four”, “Woman of Tilliria”) intertwine seamlessly with Cypriot poetry by Dimitris Lipertis, Michalis Pashiardis, and Costas Montis, masterfully set to music by Cypriot composers such as Achilleas Lympouridis, Vasos Argyridis, Costas Kakoyiannis, and Evagoras Karageorgis.
The ten professional Cypriot musicians are accompanied by singers Anna Aristideou and Tefkros Neocleous.
