Νestor TAYLOR: The Path of the Archangel, elegy for strings
Camille SAINT-SAËNS: Concerto for piano no. 2 in G minor, op. 22
Georges BIZET: Carmen Suite no. 1 & no. 2
George-Emmanuel Lazaridis, piano
Zoe Zeniodi, conductor
The Cyprus Symphony Orchestra proudly collaborates for the first time with the world-celebrated pianist, composer and cultural visionary, George-Emmanuel Lazaridis, under the baton of the internationally acclaimed conductor Zoe Zeniodi. Described by BBC Music Magazine as “special enough to be beyond comparison”, Lazaridis captivates audiences with the exceptional depth, imagination and virtuosity of his performances.
The evening opens with Nestor Taylor’s The Path of the Archangel, an evocative elegy for strings whose luminous textures and contemplative spirit create an atmosphere of profound reflection. The work’s title pays homage to Theodorakis’ celebrated autobiographical work The Roads of the Archangel. At the heart of the programme stands Saint-Saëns’ dazzling Piano Concerto no. 2, a masterpiece that combines poetic lyricism, brilliance and breathtaking technical display—an ideal vehicle for Lazaridis’ compelling musicianship. The concert concludes with the irresistible passion, colour and drama of Bizet’s Carmen Suites nos. 1 and 2, bringing to life the unforgettable melodies and fiery spirit of one of the most beloved operas ever written.
Contemplation, poetry, virtuosity and vivid musical storytelling combine in this concert of intense emotion and striking contrasts!
