The Cyprus Symphony Orchestra is all set to captivate audiences with the Premiere 2 concert in both Nicosia and Paphos. This musical journey will feature the renowned Greek conductor Michalis Economou at the helm, with the young and talented Polish trumpet soloist Aleksander Kobus at his side.
Premiere 2: A Symphony of Talent
Kicking off the series in Paphos on a high note this Friday evening, the concert moves to Nicosia the following night. Kobus, the trumpet virtuoso, is poised to dazzle the crowd with the Cyprus premiere of Krzysztof Penderecki’s Concertino for trumpet. This challenging piece, which Kobus has previously recorded with the Polish Sinfonia Iuventus Orchestra under the direction of Penderecki himself, promises to be a highlight of the evening.
But that’s not all. The program will shine a spotlight on not just international composers but also local talent. ‘Confused Ostinato,’ penned by the Cypriot composer Akis Pavlou, is set to share the stage with the timeless allure of Johannes Brahms’ Symphony No. 2, a work that radiates romantic warmth and optimism.
