Dear audience,
Through its continuous presence in the musical life of the country, the Cyprus Youth Symphony Orchestra has won the hearts of the Cypriot audience and embodies the new generation’s most noble aspirations. Its continued participation in the “Cyprus Concert” at the Vienna Musikverein during the last five years, demonstrates beyond doubt that Cyprus is on a path of progress and cultural growth.
The new artistic season repertoire exploits a wide-ranging sample of important musical periods, genres and tendencies and I believe showcases the gifts of Music, while conveying to the audience the emotions only Art can communicate.
At the same time, the Orchestra Academy and the ΣymphoΠedia system, continue to provide a perpetual and broad music education, setting the standards for academic excellence, so that the children of this country enjoy opportunities, equal to the ones provided to young musicians in other European countries.
I hope that the new season will satisfy the expectations of our dear audiences and, all the while, serve the talent and the dreams of our young musicians.
Yiorgos Kountouris
Artistic Director & Conductor of the
Cyprus Youth Symphony Orchestra
