The Cyprus Symphony Orchestra and its artistic director Günter Neuhold are thrilled to share the stage with the rapidly rising violin star Stephen Waarts, to present late romantic masterpieces.

Stephen Waarts’ innate and poetic musical voice has established him as a firm favourite with audiences. Waarts has performed in prestigious concerts halls and festivals in Europe and the US with renowned orchestras and conductors including Christoph Eschenbach, Marin Alsop, Constantinos Carydis, Nicholas McGegan. During the 2022/23 season, Waarts is making his debuts with the Konzerthausorchester Berlin with Stephanie Childress, and Israel Philharmonic Orchestra with Sir András Schiff. In 2022, Alpha Classics released Waarts’ first concerto recording: Mozart Violin Concerto No.1 with the Camerata Schweiz under Howard Griffiths. Waarts is the winner of numerous prizes and awards including the International Classical Music Awards Orchestra Award by the Lucerne Symphony Orchestra in 2019 and the first prize at the 2014 Menuhin Competition.

Stephen Waarts will interpret the highly virtuosic violin concerto of Jean Sibelius and the concert will close with Johannes Brahms’ melodious, full of emotional contrasts, Second Symphony.
