The Pharos Trust introduces the Cyprus Artists Series, to be presented concurrently with its internationally established annual Concert and Recital Series. The new series is dedicated to the promotion and support of leading musicians of Cypriot ancestry, as well as musicians residing and pursuing a career in Cyprus. In keeping with its mission to promote artistic excellence and cultural dialogue, the Trust aspires to offer Cyprus audiences the opportunity to experience fine performances, while developing an active network of Cypriot musicians. The Series will also be committed to the promotion of Cypriot composers and will feature premieres of commissioned new works.
The Cyprus Artists Series is inaugurated with a recital by clarinettist George Georgiou and pianist Agata Jozwik. The programme will include works by Messager, Berio, Ireland, Carter and Brahms.
