Description

The Cyprus Young Strings Soloists ensemble was created in the framework of the ground-breaking Music Talent Development Programme of the Ministry of Education and Culture, which was conceived by and operates under the guidance and supervision of the distinguished Cypriot violinist and music pedagogue Professor Matheos Kariolou. The Pro- gramme aims at identifying children aged 3-10 with recognisable talent in music and providing them with high level instruction in stringed instruments with the assistance of a group of internationally renowned instructors.

In the short time span since the establishment of the Programme, the children who participate in the Cyprus Young Strings Soloists ensemble have impressed audiences with the exceptional quality of their performances and have already gained international recognition with appearances in some of the most famous concert halls in Europe (Vienna, Brussels, Moscow, Rome, Vatican).

In their first performance at the Axiothea Mansion, the Cyprus Young Strings Soloists will present a demanding programme with works by Marc-Antoine Charpentier, Georg Friedrich Handel, Antonio Vivaldi, Fritz Kreisler, Carl Böhm, Pablo de Sarasate, Astor Piazzolla, Henryk Wieniawski, Nikos Skalkotas, Franz Schubert and Nicolo Paganini.
