This programme brings together the true gems of Cypriot music and Beethoven\u2019s 5th symphony, one of the most iconic works in orchestral history, marking the close of the Cyprus Presidency of the Council of the European Union.<\/p>\n<p>The programme opens with a vibrant showcase of music rooted in the heritage and contemporary creativity of Cyprus. Audiences will be transported from dawn to dynamic folk-inspired traditions, starting with Solon Michaelides\u2019 Avgi ston Parthenona (Sunrise at the Parthenon), a work suffused with radiant lyricism and evocative imagery. The orchestra will then premiere Savvas Savva\u2019s Cypriot Suite, a new work commissioned by the orchestra specifically for this concert, adding a fresh voice to the island\u2019s musical landscape.<\/p>\n<p>Following this, the Brussels Chamber Ensemble\u00a0partners with the Hellenic Choir of Brussels (prepared by choirmaster Christos Gkakoudis), soprano Anna Mathioudaki and baritone Alex Panayi in spirited renditions of five famous Cypriot folk songs, arranged for symphonic orchestra and choir, including beloved examples such as Ta Rialia, Chrysoprasino Fyllo and Tilirkotissa, arranged by artists like Giorgos Karvellos and the orchestra\u2019s musical director Clio Zois.<\/p>\n<p>After the interval, the programme turns to one of the cornerstones of the orchestral repertoire: Ludwig van Beethoven\u2019s Symphony No. 5 \u2014 a work of monumental energy and profound expression that traces a journey from struggle to triumph.<\/p>\n<p>For more information, visit brusselschamberensemble.eu or @brusselschamberensemble on Instagram and Facebook.<\/p>\n<p>\u20ac 35 &gt; \u20ac 15<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Join the Brussels Chamber Ensemble for a concert celebrating the music and culture of Cyprus, presented on the occasion of the Cyprus Presidency of the Council to the European Union.
