The orchestra welcomes for this concert two distinguished and dynamic musicians from Finland: Petros Gospodinov, previous principal cellist of the Cyprus Symphony Orchestra and now the solo cellist at the Kuopio Symphony Orchestra, as well as maestro Tomas Djupsjöbacka, Chief Conductor of the Vaasa City Orchestra.
Gospodinov and Djupsjöbacka will be joining their forces to interpret with the CySO the Cyprus premiere of the Cello concerto by Jaakko Kuusisto, Chief Conductor of the Kuopio Symphony Orchestra and composer.
This “Cyprus meets Finland” concert also presents works by two of the most esteemed composers of these countries. The Suite for string orchestra by Cypriot composer Phanos Dymiotis and Jean Sibelius’ Pelléas et Mélisande Suite, a musical expression of the dramatic story of Maeterlinck’s symbolic play by the same name.
