Pharos Review
The PHAROS ARTS FOUNDATION is a non-profit cultural and educational organisation dedicated to the promotion of a
wide range of activities in the fields of the humanities and the arts. Using Cyprus – uniquely positioned on the crossroads of
Europe, Asia and Africa and a member of the European Union situated on its south-eastern boundary – as its main venue, the
Foundation draws on the island’s unique heritage and location, offering a vehicle for increased interaction and intercultural
dialogue between Europe, and the rest of the world. The Foundation presents cultural and educational programmes that are
characterised by a strong commitment to artistic excellence and the creative process.

The Foundation has established an international reputation for its Concert and Recital Series that takes places throughout the
year by a great number of renowned soloists, chamber music ensembles and chamber orchestras. The Cyprus Artists Series,
which is presented concurrently with the Concert and Recital Series, is dedicated to the promotion and support of leading
musicians of Cypriot ancestry, as well as musicians residing and pursuing a career in Cyprus. The Jazz Series is committed to
bringing the highest quality jazz music to Cyprus audiences. Since 2001, the Foundation has been organizing the International
Chamber Music Festival, which has established itself as the most important annual music event in Cyprus, and has gained
an international reputation for its quality concerts and magnificent settings. In 2009, the Pharos Arts Foundation introduced
the International Contemporary Music Festival, the mission of which is to propagate the music of 20th and 21st centuries
and to present contemporary works and newly-commissioned compositions. The Festival has so far presented over 50 world
premieres by a number of exceptional gifted contemporary composers from all over the world and a great number of Cyprus
premieres.

The Foundation’s Education Programme presents workshops, master-classes, lectures and educational concerts for the
benefit of students and private schools from different ethnic, religious and cultural backgrounds, promoting music as a
non-verbal expression vehicle which transcends the boundaries of language. Over 70.000 students from all over Cyprus have
benefited from the Programme in the last years.

The Visual Arts Programme features contemporary art exhibitions by distinguished international artists working in all ranges
of media; the Pharos Centre of Contemporary Art hosts major contemporary art exhibitions, acting as a space where artists
can create and present their work. Exhibition catalogues on the hosted artists, as well as other monographs and books on
contemporary art and photography are published by Pharos Publishers. Throughout the year, the Foundation presents a
Screening Series of an eclectic range of films, documentaries, rare sound and vision footage, as well as historical performances
that showcase the various ways of art expression and history. The Lecture Series serves as a forum for the exchange of ideas
by influential thinkers on issues of global importance. Through the Foundation’s Residency Programme, artists, writers,
musicians, scholars and composers are invited to visit Cyprus and create new work.

The Pharos Arts Foundation is directly dependent on sponsorship and other contributions for the continued development and
enrichment of its activities.

Foreword
by the President of The Pharos Arts Foundation

I am very pleased that 2017 has been another successful and creative year for the Foundation. In 2017, the
Pharos Arts Foundation has presented over 30 concerts with outstanding musicians and artists from all
over the world, reinforcing its reputation as a centre for creativity and artistic excellence.

The Music Education Programme, which accompanies almost all the events organised by Pharos,
continues to be a vital part of what we do and who we are. Over the past decade we have offered
educational concerts, master-classes and workshops for over 75.000 students. In addition to hosting
students at the Shoe Factory we are live streaming these educational events to dozens of schools all
over Cyprus. We believe that providing such opportunities for young students to interact with artists
and musicians enhances their own creativity and curiosity and contributes to fostering a better, more
culturally developed society. We are proud of what we have achieved so far and look forward to
expanding our educational initiatives.

Pharos aspires to be a beacon of light in our society and it is among the most active Foundations in
Cyprus. Amid all the seemingly impenetrable darkness that permeates our world, light gives us the
opportunity to consider how it is one of the most important transformative energies in our lives. It is
during these difficult times that we need the inspiration and light that only the arts provide. The highest
expressions of the human spirit in all cultures, nations and religions have come through the arts. They
unite us and reveal the mystery and magic of what it means to be a human being. We cannot imagine a
future that transcends narrow definitions of identity, ethnicity and space without an enriching cultural
dimension to our lives. It is our imagination and thoughts that shape our reality. When we focus on
the creative spirit in us, and on our inner light, which so often emerges through the power of music, I
believe we shall find a place of beauty, harmony and harmlessness. We will continue to do everything in
our power to enrich people’s lives through the arts and to cultivate creativity and understanding in our
society.

I would like to thank everyone who contributes to the success of Pharos. These include the extraordinary
musicians who we consider a part of our family, the Artistic Director of the Foundation Yvonne
Georgiadou, the Pharos team, our volunteers, our loyal and appreciative audience, as well as the
diplomatic and cultural missions that support us. Our sponsors play the most vital role in enabling our
work to materialise. Their support is deeply appreciated. All of us play an important role in keeping the
flame of Pharos alight and all of us together should recognise that what we do is crucial for the well-being
of our island and our society.

 LIVE MUSIC IN SILENT FILM
25 – 29 January 2017 enLIVE 2
The Shoe Factory, Nicosia
Pharos Review
Following the great success of its first edition in 2016, enLIVE opened the Pharos Arts Foundation’s 2017
season with a new fascinating series of ciné-concerts. The first project of its kind to be inaugurated in
Cyprus, enLIVE gave audiences the opportunity to enjoy some of the most emblematic films of the silent
era, set to original music by contemporary composers and performed live in the intimate surroundings
of The Shoe Factory. In addition, it presented short films by contemporary filmmakers set to the music of
classical composers and included a number of educational activities for students.

The first day of enLIVE2 featured Curt and Robert Siodmak’s People on Sunday – a brilliant hybrid of
documentary and fictional storytelling and one of the earliest experiments in neo-realist filmmaking that
would become a mainstream hit and influence generations of film artists around the world. The film is
most notable today for the behind-the-camera contributions of several young German filmmakers who
would later win great fame after expatriating to the US following the rise of the Third Reich. The original
music for People on Sunday was composed by Minas I. Alexiadis, who performed it live on the piano and
synthesizers.

The second day featured Dziga Vertov’s Man with A Movie Camera, considered to be perhaps the
most dazzling and sophisticated work not only of the Soviet, but of world silent cinema. Through a
revolutionary montage of constructivist and modern architecture and within a Marxist ideology, Vertov
created a futuristic city that would serve as a form of commentary on the existing Soviet ideals. The
film has been declared by the British Film Institute as “the Best Documentary of all time” and it stands
as a unique example of experimental cinema in Russia in the late 1920s, as well as a panorama of and a
manifesto on the nature of the socialist society of the country. The original music for Man with a Movie
Camera was composed by the Artistic Director of enLive, Alexandros Mouzas, and it was performed live
by Kostas Tzekos (clarinet), Kostas Panagiotidis (violin), Alexandros Botinis (cello), Christos Sakellaridis
(piano).

enLIve 2 was concluded with a screening of “It” – a silent romantic comedy film by Clarence G. Badger that
turned actress Clara Bow into a major star and led people to label her the “It girl”. The film was considered
lost for many years but after a nitrate-copy was found in the 1960s, the United States National Film
Registry by the Library of Congress selected it for preservation as a “culturally, historically, or aesthetically
significant film”. The original music for “It”, for jazz ensemble, was composed by Panagiotis Theodosiou
and it was performed live by Alexandros Makris (piano), Efstathios Kiossoglou (clarinet), Yiorgos Arnis
(double-bass), Vasileios Panagiotopoulos (drums).

The first two days of enLive 2 were prefaced by new short films created by Nicoleta Avgousti and, a team
of young filmmakers from the International Motion Festival under the direction of Demetra Englezou
– corresponding to art-songs by Richard Strauss and P.I. Tchaikovsky and performed live by Markos
Kleovoulou (baritone) and Kyriakos Kyriakou (piano). The final day of enLive caught the audience by
surprise as it was prefaced by Charlie Chaplin’s hilarious The Lion’s Cage, which, as part of Pharos’ Music
Education Programme, was set to music by a team of students from the Paphos Music Lyceum under the
direction of their professor, Constantinos Papadopoulos.
 JAZZ AT THE SHOE FACTORY
8 February 2017 ARNE JANSEN TRIO
The Shoe Factory, Nicosia
Pharos Review
As a guitarist, Arne Jansen has never thought in genre categories. Melodic compositions, transparent
arrangements and a warm guitar sound have always been his trademark. His programmes encompass
many “songs without words” and some of them, quickly and without any detours, make their way into
our consciousness where they seem to have always felt at home. The artist, winner of the ECHO Jazz in
2014, is very selective as with regards to the means he uses to develop intense atmospheres and stronger
statements. The Arne Jansen Trio (comprising also bass-player Robert Lucaciu and drummer Eric Schaefer)
are renowned for preserving the song form, avoiding exaggerated abstraction and finding depth in
ambiguous, associative understatements. As a result, they remain accessible without becoming frivolous.
For their first appearance in Cyprus, the Trio beguiled the audience with their exceptional aesthetic and
approach in a sold-out concert, organised in collaboration with the Goethe Institut Zypern.

CLARINET & PIANO RECITAL

WENZEL FUCHS clarinet
15 February 2017
ELISAVETA BLUMINA piano
The Shoe Factory, Nicosia
Pharos Review
The Pharos Arts Foundation presented a memorable recital with the legendary Wenzel Fuchs – Principal
Clarinettist of the Berlin Philharmonic since 1993, who joined forces with the eminent German pianist
Elisaveta Blumina. In front of an appreciative audience, the two artists delivered a superb performance
of an exciting programme comprising the poetic miniatures from Schumann’s Phantasiestücke, Op.73;
Brahms’ Sonata for clarinet and piano No.1 in F minor, Op.120 – a work that signified the composer’s long-
standing collaboration with the virtuoso Richard Mühlfield and the creation of some of the richest 19th
century repertoire for clarinet; Debussy’s dreamlike Rhapsody for Clarinet and Piano, and Poulenc’s deeply
touching Sonata for Clarinet and Piano in B-flat major – a memoriam piece, which was tragically written a
few months before the composer’s sudden death.

VIOLIN & PIANO RECITAL

23 February 2017 DUO ATTITUDE
The Shoe Factory, Nicosia
Pharos Review
Formed in 2012 by the young Turkish-Cypriot violinist Nihat Agdac and pianist Emil Duncumb, after
performing in the master-classes of artists such as Maxim Vengerov and Thomas Brandis, the Duo Attitude
has already appeared in a number of important venues all over Europe and it is quickly establishing itself
as a dynamic and talented violin-piano duo. For their recital at The Shoe Factory, the Duo performed
Schubert’s Sonatine No.2 in A minor – a piece demonstrating the 19-year-old composer’s combination
of utterly apt lyricism with harmonic skill; Franck’s famed Sonata in A Major, which was composed as a
wedding gift for the composer’s friend and Belgian compatriot, Eugene Ysaÿe; Brahms’ highly expressive
Sonata No.2 in A major and Szymanowski’s imaginative Mythes, Op.30.
 JAZZ AT THE SHOE FACTORY
10 March 2017 THE IOANNOU / VAFEAS JAZZ QUARTET
The Shoe Factory, Nicosia
Pharos Review
The Ioannou / Vafeas Jazz Quartet was created in 2016 after many years of collaboration and friendship
between saxophonist Charis Ioannou and drummer Ioannis Vafeas. Both artists perform regularly in
festivals and concert halls in their homeland Cyprus as well as the rest of Europe, and they have frequently
collaborated in recordings and theatre productions. They are both graduates of the Berklee College of
Music in Boston, holding a Master’s Degree in Jazz Music, and they are professors in the Department
of Music at the University of Nicosia. Pharos presented this highly talented Quartet (comprising also of
double-bass player Greg Makamian and pianist Dimitris Miaris) in a new project entitled Bridge of Locks – a
unique journey into jazz with the sounds of award-winning saxophonist and composer Chris Byars. The
concert was a preview of the Quartet’s CD, Bridge of Locks, which was released later in the year.

PIANO RECITAL
24 March 2017 MARK VINER
The Shoe Factory, Nicosia
Pharos Review
Mark Viner is recognised as one of the most exciting British concert pianists of his generation and he is
becoming increasingly well-known for his bold championing of unfamiliar pianistic terrain. He was the
winner of the Alkan-Zimmerman International Piano Competition in 2012, and he has since appeared
in concerts and recitals all over the world. For his recital at The Shoe Factory, which was organised in
collaboration with the Keyboard Charitable Trust in London, this wonderful young pianist performed
a refreshingly resourceful programme of Liszt’s Réminiscences of Donizetti’s Lucia di Lammermoor and
Bellini’s Norma as well as selection of works by the lesser-known but equally important contemporaries of
Liszt, Charles-Valentin Alkan and Sigismond Thalberg.

CELLO & PIANO RECITAL

CHRISTIAN ELLIOTT cello
5 April 2017 ROBIN GREEN piano
The Shoe Factory, Nicosia
Pharos Review
In view of their first recording together of the complete Beethoven cello and piano music, which was
released later in the year, the Pharos Arts Foundation presented the talented Christian Elliott – cellist of
the Zehetmair Quartet and Principal Cellist of the Irish Chamber Orchestra, and pianist Robin Green –
described by Gramophone as an “intelligent and sensitive musician with a genuine flair for imaginative
programming”. For their recital at The Shoe Factory, the duo performed a programme comprising two of
Beethoven’s sonatas for cello and piano, which were written twelve years apart – No.1 in F major, Op.5/1
and No.3 in A major, Op.69, Schumann’s Fantasiestücke, as well as a wonderful selection of Lieder by
Schumann transcribed for cello and piano.
 LITERARY EVENING & BOOK LAUNCH
21 April 2017 CLARICE LISPECTOR
The Shoe Factory, Nicosia
Pharos Review
Pharos presented a literary evening featuring the works of the celebrated Brazilian writer Clarice Lispector,
and the launch of the Greek edition of The Hour of the Star, which was her last book before she died in
1977. The book brings together all of the philosophical themes that the author considered over her
writing career: the nature of truth, the meaning of existence, the power of language, the finality of death,
and the role of spirituality. As part of the event, Stephanos Stephanides, poet and Professor of English
and Comparative Literature at the University of Cyprus, gave a talk and, extracts from the works were
read by actress Nayia Karacosta and poet Lily Michaelides. The event was organised in collaboration with
Ideogramma and the Moufflon Bookshop, and with the kind support of the Embassy of Brazil in Cyprus.

PIANO RECITAL
28 April 2017 ASHLEY WASS
The Shoe Factory, Nicosia
Pharos Review
Described by Gramophone Magazine as “a thoroughbred who possesses the enviable gift to turn almost
anything he plays into pure gold”, Ashley Wass is highly in demand on the international stage, having
performed as a soloist with numerous leading orchestras, at many of the world’s finest concert halls,
including the Wigmore Hall, Carnegie Hall and the Vienna Konzerthaus. For his much anticipated return
recital at The Shoe Factory, the phenomenal Ashley Wass presented a Shakespeare-inspired programme
comprising Beethoven’s “The Tempest” Sonata, Smetana’s pianistic tone-poem Macbeth and the Witches,
Liszt’s Paraphrase on Mendelssohn’s Midsummer Night’s Dream and Prokofiev’s exquisite piano suite Romeo
and Juliet: Ten Pieces for Piano, Op.75, which the composer constructed out of themes from his famous
ballet, Romeo and Juliet.

PIANO RECITAL
5 May 2017 THEODORE TZOVANAKIS
The Shoe Factory, Nicosia
Pharos Review
Theodore Tzovanakis is one of the most sought-after and talented pianists of his generation in Greece.
He studied piano at the Cologne University of Music, the Royal Scottish Academy of Music and Drama
and the Royal Conservatory of The Hague. For his recital in Nicosia, which was supported by the Embassy
of Greece in Cyprus, Tzovanakis performed an all-Russian programme consisting of Alexander Scriabin’s
24 Preludes, Op.11 – a set of unabashedly Romantic miniatures for piano in each of the major and minor
tonalities that were greatly inspired by Chopin’s Op.28 Preludes; the prodigious Four Preludes written by
Scriabin’s 11-year-old son, Julian, in 1914, just before the boy was drowned following a boating accident;
Tchaikovsky’s Dumka in C minor, Op.59 and Medtner’s astoundingly inventive Four Lyric Fragments, Op.23.
 CONCERT
12 May 2017 TETRAKTYS STRING QUARTET
The Shoe Factory, Nicosia
Pharos Review
The Tetraktys String Quartet is recognised as one of the most dynamic and innovative quartets in Europe
and it is internationally acclaimed for its technical excellence and stylistic elegance. Distinguished for its
impeccable and absorbing sound as well as the expressiveness and passion of its performances in both
the classical and the contemporary repertoire, Tetraktys (consisting of violinists Giorgos Panagiotidis
and Kostas Panagiotidis, violist Megumi Kasakawa and cellist Dimitris Travlos) has appeared in some of
the world’s most prestigious venues, including, Carnegie Hall in New York, Concertgebouw Amsterdam,
Cité de la Musique in Paris and Musikverein Wien. For their concert at The Shoe Factory, the Tetraktys
demonstrated their unique artistry by presenting an adventurous and highly virtuosic programme,
which comprised Beethoven’s monumental Grosse Fuge – a piece that was so ground-breaking for its
time that the composer’s contemporaries described it as “incomprehensible”; Schnittke’s String Quartet
No.3 – a masterpiece showcasing the composer’s “polystylistic” approach by incorporating in its structure
a number of fragments from other works such as Beethoven’s Grosse Fuge and Shostakovich’s famous
“musical signature”; Shostakovich’s heart-rendering String Quartet No.7 in F-sharp minor and Ginastera’s
electrifying String Quartet No.2, Op.26.

EXHIBITION
17 May – 5 July 2017 ONCE REMOVED
Pharos Centre for GIDEON RUBIN
Contemporary Art, Nicosia
Pharos Review
The Pharos Centre for Contemporary Art presented Gideon Rubin’s first solo exhibition in Cyprus. Based in
London, this fascinating Israeli artist has had numerous international solo exhibitions around the world,
including at Chengdu MOCA, Herzliya Museum of Contemporary Art in San Jose ICA, Galerie Karsten
Greve in Paris, Rokeby Gallery in London and Hosfelt Gallery in San Francisco. Though firmly ensconced
in the 21st century, Gideon Rubin is unquestionably a painter of history. His is a complex and multivalent
history, one that draws in equal measure on the past and the present, the known and the unknowable,
the personal and the universal. By using anonymous photographs, often from the turn of the century,
Gideon Rubin selects characters and scenes which he conveys onto canvas or linen. Through the use of
broad brushstrokes and a muted palette, the figures and landscapes are often abstracted, details are
effaced and scenes move in and out of the picture plane. The surfaces of the paintings reveal strata of
previous paintings or are scraped back to reveal the canvas beneath. In other instances, Rubin leaves
entire areas of canvas untouched so that they become integral parts of the work whilst drawing attention
to the paintings support. Embedded within layers of paint or receding from view, it is as if his selected
characters are entrenched in multiple histories or are unrecoverable in the here and now.
 2 – 20 June 2017 17th INTERNATIONAL PHAROS
The Shoe Factory, Nicosia CHAMBER MUSIC FESTIVAL
Royal Manor House, Kouklia
Pharos Review
Since its inception seventeen years ago the International Pharos Chamber Music Festival has established
itself as the highlight of the Pharos Arts Foundation’s Concert and Recital Series, garnering enthusiastic
acclaim from music lovers all over the world. The Festival has become one of Europe’s preeminent music
festivals, while it has made chamber music more accessible to the general public in Cyprus, by presenting
exciting programmes and performances of the highest level by some of the world’s most renowned
soloists. The Festival also maintains a strong tradition of community service, with educational concerts
organised for students of public schools and a number of master-classes for young instrumentalists.

Organised between 2 and 20 June 2017, the 17th International Pharos Chamber Music Festival welcomed
to Cyprus some of the most remarkable artists on the international music scene, who joined forces for
eight concerts at The Shoe Factory in Nicosia and at the Gothic Hall of the Royal Manor House in Kouklia,
Palaipaphos. The Festival explored the many forms of the chamber music genre, and encompassed an
impressive array of instrumental combinations and repertoire, ranging from the Baroque to the 20th
century, as well as a number of rarely performed masterpieces.

The 17th International Pharos Chamber Music Festival opened on 2 June 2017, at The Shoe Factory,
with a voice and piano recital by the renowned Danish coloratura soprano Susanne Elmark who joined
forces with the international repetiteur Christian Westergaard in a programme of art-songs by Debussy,
Berg, R. Strauss, Prokofiev and Grieg. A few days later, The Shoe Factory welcomed the return visit of the
sensational young pianist Vitaly Pisarenko, winner of the First Prize in the 8th International Franz Liszt
Piano Competition, in a recital that was organised in collaboration with the Keyboard Charitable Trust in
London, and included works by Schubert, Schumann and Liszt.

After an intensive week of educational activities, the Festival moved to the Royal Manor House of the
ancient village of Kouklia, which was specifically transformed by Pharos to a first class concert venue.
Some of the world’s greatest musicians joined forces for six memorable concerts. The Festival hosted
one of the most renowned names of the great Russian piano school, Sergei Babayan, claimed for his
extraordinary mastery in exploring a stylistically diverse repertoire; it also featured one of the most
musically dynamic and technically gifted pianists of the new generation – the Gold Medallist of the 2013
Van Cliburn International Piano Competition, Vadym Kholodenko; and the return visit of the incredible
Yevgeny Sudbin, hailed by The Telegraph as “potentially one of the greatest pianists of the 21st century”.

Besides the Festival’s regular guests – distinguished cellist and artistic director of the Festival Alexander
Chaushian, the impressive Russian violinist Boris Brovtsyn, violinists Levon Chilingirian and Monika
Urbonaite, violists Diemut Poppen and David Abrahamyan, and cellist Tim Park, the Festival also
hosted for the first time the brilliant Alena Baeva, who is fast emerging as one of the finest violinists
of her generation; one of the most celebrated and engaging French violinists of our times – Nicolas
Dautricourt – winner of the Sacem Georges Enesco Prize; the prodigious violinist Clara-Jumi Kang –
prize winner in several major competitions, including, Tibor Varga, Seoul, Hannover and Indianapolis
violin competitions; and the fascinating violist Jennifer Stumm, recognised as one of the world’s dynamic
advocates for her instrument. The 17th International Pharos Chamber Music Festival also welcomed
the return visits of Marc Coppey – considered nowadays one of the leading cellists in the world, the
renowned Italian flutist Massimo Mercelli, and the newly founded Cyprus Guitar Trio, which comprises
three distinguished classical guitarists from Cyprus – Vasilios Avraam, George Christofi and Socrates
Leptos.
 JAZZ AT THE SHOE FACTORY
9 September 2017 TAKOUSHIS-KARAPATAKIS PROJECT
The Shoe Factory, Nicosia FEAT. UDO DEMANDT

Pharos Review
The resourceful yet unassuming music disposition of pianist/composer Marios Takoushis and bassist/
composer Gabriel Karapatakis, exuding a modern and distinctive European jazz sound and based on
strong melodies and virtuosic improvisations, defies any self-classification. Their music is developed from
the fundamentals of jazz improvisation and individual self-expression, displaying original ideas which
are inspired by the music traditions of the Mediterranean. And while it does not engage in loud and
ostentatious conversations with these traditions, it brings about “memories”, which are stemming from
the two artists’ motherland – Cyprus, but also from the evolution of the jazz genre, and which are deeply
embedded, inseparably intertwined even, in the Project’s musical corpus. The Pharos Arts Foundation
opened its Fall season 2017 with this highly acclaimed jazz duo, who joined forces with the renowned
German percussion virtuoso Udo Demandt in a deeply inspiring, sold-out, concert.

VIOLIN RECITAL
15 September 2017 EMMANUEL TJEKNAVORIAN
The Shoe Factory, Nicosia
Pharos Review
Pharos was thrilled to welcome the return visit of the sensational Emmanuel Tjeknavorian. Winner in
such important competitions as the Jean Sibelius Violin Competition in 2015, the Fritz Kreisler Violin
Competition in 2014 and the Johannes Brahms Competition, Emmanuel Tjeknavorian has already
achieved international acclaim, and has appeared in some of the world’s most important concert venues,
including Vienna Musikverein, the Vienna Konzerthaus, the Boston Symphony Hall and the Helsinki
Music Centre. Despite his young age, Tjeknavorian has already appeared as a soloist with such renowned
orchestras as the Vienna Radio Symphony Orchestra, the Finnish Radio Symphony Orchestra, the Boston
Pops Orchestra, the Helsinki Philharmonic Orchestra and the Munich Chamber Orchestra. Emmanuel
Tjeknavorian’s electrifying recital at The Shoe Factory inaugurated the beginning of an extensive tour
in some of Europe’s most prestigious venues, including the Musikverein in Vienna, Concertgebouw
in Amsterdam, Philharmonie in Luxembourg and Barbican in the UK, where he was scheduled to
perform the same programme: J. S. Bach’s Sonata in G minor, BWV 1001; Ysaÿe’s extremely popular, yet
tremendously taxing Violin Sonata No.1 in G minor, Op.27; Prokofiev’s Sonata for Violin solo in D major,
Op.115; excerpts from Enescu’s evocative Impressions d’ Enfance; Ernst’s Variations on “The Last Rose of
Summer” – a work that is so fiendishly difficult for the violinist that that only a handful of violinists have
recorded it in history; and Suite des Alpes – a new work composed by the acclaimed Austrian composer
Christoph Ehrenfellner.
 9th INTERNATIONAL PHAROS
6 – 13 October 2017 CONTEMPORARY MUSIC FESTIVAL
The Shoe Factory, Nicosia
Pharos Review
The International Pharos Contemporary Music Festival has established itself as one of the most innovative
and cutting-edge annual music events in the Eastern Mediterranean. Under the artistic direction of the
internationally renowned Cypriot composer, Evis Sammoutis, the Festival has become a platform for
composers and performers to explore new sound worlds in chamber music settings and it has so far
presented hundreds of Cyprus and world premieres.

Entitled “EAST music WEST”, the 9th International Pharos Contemporary Music Festival was dedicated
to the evolution of traditional music into what we now identify as ‘new music’. For a week, the Festival
became the meeting point of traditions from east to west, from the past to the present: a crossway in
which instruments from various cultures mingled with their western descendants, a hybrid platform
where music elements from various traditions around the globe were exposed, and a unique sonic
experience where oral practices were combined with modern notation and compositional techniques.
The Festival presented four distinct concerts, alongside a number of other corresponding activities, such
as lectures, workshops and educational activities.

The impressive first concert of the Festival travelled us to the Far East and the transcendental sounds of
the Chinese Sheng and the Japanese Shō. The Sheng is one of the oldest wind instruments in the world,
with a history over 3.000 years, and it was important in the development of other musical instruments,
as for example the harmonica in the West and Sheng’s smaller sibling, the Shō, in Japan. The Festival
welcomed for the first time in Cyprus the world famous Sheng player Wu Wei, who joined forces with the
brilliant Shō player Naomi Sato. Having appeared as a soloist with many leading orchestras around the
world, including the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra under Kent Nagano and the Los Angeles Philharmonic
Orchestra under Gustavo Dudamel, Wu Wei has helped to develop the Sheng into an innovative force in
contemporary music. The second concert of the Festival was an exciting percussion experience by Shawn
Mativetsky – one of the most dynamic performers of Tabla in the world and a pioneer in bridging the
worlds of Western and Indian classical music. His instrument, the Tabla, is regarded as the king of the
percussion instruments and it has a very distinct sound that makes it an integral part of Indian music.

The third concert of the Festival presented for the first time in Cyprus the outstanding Ensemble C Barré
which joined forces with soprano Sarah Maria Sun, under the direction of Sebastian Boin. Associated
with the National Centre for Musical Creation of Marseille, C Barré is an ensemble of unique personality,
quite distinct from today’s musical landscape. The unrivalled makeup of the Ensemble (conventional
western instruments as well as accordion, mandolin and cimbalom) is further enriched by a number of
traditional instruments – as in the case of C Barré’s exceptional concert in Nicosia, which also included
instruments such as bouzouki, duduk and zithers. The concert featured works by Xenakis, Stravinsky,
Britten, Markeas, and world premieres by Mikel Urquiza, François Rossé and George Christofi. The 9th
International Pharos Contemporary Music Festival ended its journey with the Lingua Franca Ensemble,
featuring instruments such as yayli tanbur, tarhu, ney, oud, guitar, violin and percussion. The Ensemble
circumnavigated on a musical wandering during which the rich eastern Mediterranean traditions and
western music elements blended and composed colourful soundscapes in a unique programme that also
included world premieres by composers Vasilis Filippou and Andreas Tsiartas.
18 October – 3 November 2017 EXHIBITION
Pharos Centre for GLOBALISED
Contemporary Art, Nicosia VAHAGN HAMALBASHYAN
Pharos Review
The Pharos Centre for Contemporary Art presented Vahagn Hamalbashyan’s first solo exhibition in Cyprus.
Born in 1983, in an artistic family in Armenia, Vahagn is a graduate of the State Academy of Fine Arts in
Yerevan and has already held three solo exhibitions and participated in numerous group exhibitions. The
artist is inspired by things that weigh on his mind and he considers himself as much a citizen of the world
as of Armenia. Locally, he finds himself caught in the middle of the formation of a new Iron Curtain. He
staunchly opposes Armenia’s return to the Soviet Union’s difficult realities rather than its romanticized
verisimilitude for several reasons: the large amount of corruption in all sectors of the government, the lack
of allocated resources for the general public, and the downtrodden mentality of life in general. Vahagn
uses a brush, acrylic paint, and canvas as his main instruments. He also takes advantage of a printmaker,
pencils, charcoal, watercolour, spray cans, stencils, and Armenian wine. “When it comes to communicating
emotionally with the world, I don’t hold back,” he says. One of his works that was exhibited at the PCCA
embodied the complacent attitude towards disaster on the horizon. It depicted a nuclear explosion over
a beach where heads levitated and licked ice cream. In another work, a Russian aircraft carrier dominated
a lake, while nude people were relaxing and looking at the aircraft but do nothing about the lurking
danger. But it is not only the contemplation of problems which dominates Vahagn’s artistic investment;
he also believes in the value of human life and how its beauties radiate the surrounding environment.
He points out how the nude people in his painting imparts elation to the scene. Vahagn supports free
expression and believes that not only does each human being deserve a space to exist and work, but also
every living thing.

PIANO RECITAL
27 October 2017 KONSTANTIN LIFSCHITZ
The Shoe Factory, Nicosia
Pharos Review
Pharos presented for the first time in Nicosia the sensational pianist Konstantin Lifschitz. Having
established a worldwide reputation for performing extraordinary feats of endurance with honesty
and persuasive beauty, Lifschitz has appeared in some of the world’s most prestigious concert halls
with leading orchestras, besides being an active recording artist and a commanding conductor. His
performance was praised as “the most magical moment” and “deeply satisfying” by The Independent,
and “naturally expressive and gripping” by the New York Times. For his historical, sold-out, concert
at The Shoe Factory in front of an appreciative audience, Lifschitz performed a colossal programme
lasting over two hours with what is considered the twin peak of the classical keyboard repertory: Bach’s
Goldberg Variations – a display of unmatched craft in music history and genuine, poetic imagination, and
Beethoven’s Diabelli Variations – a work of exhilarating humour, described as “the greatest of all piano
works, where the utmost elaborated compositional techniques are combined with concrete operations of
historical reinterpretation, quotations and musical parody”.
 PIANO RECITAL
16 November 2017 ARTEM YASYNSKYY
The Shoe Factory, Nicosia
Pharos Review
Prize winner in a number of important piano competitions, including the Gold Medal and the Audience
Prize at the prestigious Cincinnati World Piano Competition in 2015, Artem Yasynskyy has already won
considerable recognition around the world for his “most interesting manner of playing, in which a
constant variety of touch was in constant evidence” (The Salt Lake Tribune), his “stage presence which
conveys a sense of authority from the outset” (Chopin Magazine, Sendai) and the “authority and panache
he brings to all the performances and his considerable technique that serves the music’s expression
instead of calling attention to itself” (American Record Guide). For his recital at The Shoe Factory, this
remarkable young pianist performed a spectacular and diverse programme consisting of J.S. Bach’s
Partita in G major No.5, BWV 829; Szymanowski’s Variations in B-flat minor, Op.3 – showcasing the 20-year-
old composer’s perfect intuition for the technical and timbral possibilities of the piano; Haydn’s greatly
expressive and technically demanding Sonata for Keyboard in C major, Hob.XVI:50; Prokofiev’s Sonata
No.8 in B-flat major, Op.84 – a work of extreme emotions and technical demands, which stands as the
composer’s third of the so-called trilogy of the “War Sonatas”; and Britten’s magnificent set of pictures
for piano entitled “Holiday Diary” Suite. The recital was organised in collaboration with The Keyboard
Charitable Trust in London.

CONCERT
29 November 2017 ACAMANDIS PIANO TRIO
The Shoe Factory, Nicosia
Pharos Review

As part of its Cyprus Artists Series, Pharos presented the inaugural concert of the Acamandis Piano Trio – a
newly formed trio for piano, violin and cello, comprising three of the most talented and active musicians
in Cyprus. Consisting of pianist Yiannis Georgiou – graduate of the Trinity College of Music in London
and the Tchaikovsky Conservatoire in Moscow, violinist Sorin Alexandru Horlea – graduate of the Ciprian
Porumbescu Music University and prize winner at the George Enescu Childhood Memories Competition
in Bucharest, and cellist Jakub Otčenášek – graduate of the Prague Conservatory and Principal Cellist of
Cyprus Symphony Orchestra, the Acamandis Piano Trio was formed out of its members’ mutual passion
for chamber music and their keen interest in the exploration and performance of the neglected repertoire
for piano trio. For their first concert together, the Acamandis presented a rarely performed programme
of piano trios, which were written while their composers were still students, in their late teens:
Rachmaninov’s Trio Élégiaque No.1 in G minor – a concise, single-movement work that was inspired by
Tchaikovsky’s Piano Trio written ten years earlier; Shostakovich’s Piano Trio No.1 in C minor – a passionate,
single-movement work, which strongly recalls the influence of Scriabin and Rachmaninov, and it is
perhaps the most romantic work Shostakovich had ever composed; and Debussy’s Piano Trio in G major –
an undeniably charming and graceful work that was never performed during the composer’s lifetime and
it was not published until 1986.
 PIANO RECITAL
8 December 2017 MATAN PORAT
The Shoe Factory, Nicosia
Pharos Review
The fascinating Matan Porat is considered to be one of the most original voices to have emerged in recent
years, with artistic activity encompassing a wide spectrum of work as a pianist and composer. Having
appeared in some of the most prestigious concert halls in the world, Porat has been praised for his varied
and exciting concert programmes, which range from Baroque to contemporary repertoire: “Porat plays
with a magnificent sound and breath of expression” (The New York Times), “An astounding feat of creative
musicianship” (The New Yorker), “Sviatoslav Richter would have loved to hear the extraordinary pianist
Matan Porat” (La Croix). Porat delivered a breathtaking performance and received a standing ovation
at the end of his much anticipated concert at The Shoe Factory, which comprised Rameau’s Suite en
La, Schumann’s Humoreske, and Debussy’s Images from Book I as well as an interesting transcription for
solo piano, by Matan Porat, of Debussy’s Prelude à l’après midi d’un Faune. The concert was organised in
collaboration with PwC Cyprus.

GUITAR RECITAL
15 December 2017 DAMIANO PISANELLO
The Shoe Factory, Nicosia
Pharos Review
The Pharos Arts Foundation, in collaboration with the Embassy of Spain and the Cervantes Institute in
Cyprus, presented once again a guitar recital with the most recent First Prize winner of the International
Sevilla Guitar Competition. The winner in 2016 was Damiano Pisanello – a young guitarist from
Switzerland, praised for his brilliant technique, transparent, dramatic sound and rich melodic nuances. For
his recital at The Shoe Factory, the notably talented Pisanello demonstrated his uncompromising artistry
in a unique programme of works by Tristan Murail, Miguel de Fuenllana, Joan Manén, Manuel De Falla,
Maurice Ohana and Felix Ibarrondo.

VOICE & PIANO RECITAL

ALDA CAIELLO soprano
19 December 2017 ANDRÉ GALLO piano
The Shoe Factory, Nicosia
Pharos Review
The Pharos Arts Foundation culminated its 2017 season with the renowned Italian soprano Alda Caiello
and pianist André Gallo in a memorable recital, kindly supported by the Embassy of Italy in Cyprus.
The fascinating Alda Caiello, regarded as one of the leading vocal performers on the European scene
and celebrated for her versatility, refinement and expressiveness, has appeared in some of the world’s
prestigious venues under the baton of important conductors. The duo presented a programme of
20th-century masterpieces, inspired by the folk music of various traditions: From Sibelius’ Karelian-
induced songs to the Ancient Greek eroticism of Debussy’s Bilitis Songs, from the dark Cuban sensuality
of Montsalvatge’s Canciones negras through the Andalusian passion of de Falla’s Canciones Populares
Espanolas, to Berio’s highly virtuosic Four Folk Songs, the recital was unquestionably the perfect way to
conclude another yet successful year for the Pharos Arts Foundation.
 COMMUNITY AND EDUCATIONAL
January – December 2017 ACTIVITIES

The Pharos Centre
A vision for the Future

Since its inception, in 1998, the Cyprus-based Pharos Arts Foundation has established an international
reputation for artistic and cultural excellence. The Foundation’s programme includes a regular concert and
recital series, an annual Chamber Music Festival now in its sixteenth year and a Contemporary Music Festival
now in its eighth year, a music education programme, exhibitions of contemporary art, publishing, and a
lecture series on issues of global importance with distinguished speakers.

Our vision is to expand these activities by creating a centre for Art, Culture, and Dialogue in a beautiful setting
of ancient olive groves and pine forest at Delikipos. The Centre will provide space for the visual and
performing arts as well as a library and accommodation for visiting artists, writers, composers, musicians, and
thinkers from all disciplines and backgrounds.

An important element of this Centre would be the Pharos Forum, providing a venue for dialogue and debate
on issues that concern us all. Universal spiritual and material progress which we call civilization can only
flourish in what has become the global village of the 21st century if we share basic ethical principles and
develop a new world view, a paradigm determined by a reverence for life and nature as well as creative
expression. The distinguishing characteristics of the Pharos Forum will undoubtedly be its setting and its
human scale, bringing people together from all over the world to an intimate natural environment that allows
the landscape to work its magic, and gives individuals time to develop genuine friendships and valuable
conversations. John McMurray, the Scottish philosopher said ‘The purpose of all meaningful knowledge is
action, and the purpose of all meaningful action is friendship’. The Pharos Forum will cultivate these crucial
notions and offer new collaborative ways of addressing difference and discord – of moving away from private
understandings, as Heraclitus would have put it, towards perceptions of unity.

An additional crucial component of the project is the emphasis that would be given to music and the arts. All
cultures and religions have expressed their highest aspirations through music and the arts. Sophocles says ‘He
who neglects the arts when young has lost the past and is the dead to the future’. The Pharos Centre will offer
participants opportunities to listen to music-making of the highest order from the western classical tradition
as well as other cultures and to engage in dialogue with leading international artists.

The Pharos Centre, situated on an island at a pivotal point between three continents and diverse cultures, will
bring together men and women of goodwill to find a common language and to explore ways in which we can
develop a saner, healthier and more sustainable world at the beginning of a millennium. If you would like to
learn more about the Centre and contribute towards the realisation of our vision, you may contact the Pharos
Arts Foundation at info@pharosartsfoundation.org.
