In its third concert of the series “Music from the Theatres of Cyprus”, the CySO presents an attractive programme with works by Tchaikovsky and Beethoven.

The concert will take place on Friday, March 12 at 19:00 at the Rialto Theatre with the allowed number of 50 viewers and will be broadcast simultaneously online by the Theatre's YouTube channel (Rialto Theatre Limassol) with free access.

“It is a heartfelt piece and so, I dare to think, is not lacking in real qualities” - thus Tchaikovsky describes his Serenade for strings in C major (1880) to his patron. We could not agree more. Consisting of four contrasting movements, the music combines elegance with intense emotion and is profuse with melodic invention, especially in the popular Valse. In our days, it has also been used as music for the ballet and films.

The Second Symphony is one of Beethoven’s most energetic, cheerful, and outgoing works, full of humour and vitality. According to Lewis Lockwood, researcher of Beethoven, “This symphony signaled that from now on in Beethoven's works power and lyricism in extreme forms were to be unleashed as never before...”

Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky: Serenade for strings in C major, op. 48
Ludwig van Beethoven: Symphony no. 2 in D major, op. 36
