2019-08-23 21:30 - 2019-08-24 00:00 UTC | Val’s Place, Yialia, Paphos, Cyprus
We would like to welcome you to the 20th Anniversary of Paradise Jazz Festival which will take place at Val’s Place in Gialia Village, Paphos, on Friday 23rd and Saturday 24th of August 2019.
For this year due to the 20th Anniversary on one side, and to manage to cover the creative activities of jazz musicians in Cyprus on the other side, we have included 6 shows on our program {3 every night} plus 2 extra jam sessions with special guests. In total, we will present 27 artists up to now and there will be a few more coming.
We will start on Friday 23rd and on 9.30pm with The Amalgamation Choir, a project that is consists of all-women and is created and conducted by Vasiliki Anastasiou. Their repertoire draws influences from the musical traditions of shores around and islands floating in the Mediterranean Sea. Strong elements of the therapeutic acapella group singing and polyphony are balanced out by thoughtful instrumentations and arrangements of sea folk songs and original compositions in different languages.
The choir will friendly frame well known members of Cyprus Jazz Musicians
The next band on Friday night, time 10.30pm, is the Michalis Messios Symmetry Band which is perhaps the oldest figures of the jazz scene in Cyprus. First appeared in 1993 with the name Petsteppers and later renamed M. Symmetry Messios Band and presents mostly original compositions of Michalis Messios. The other three members of the band are Charis Ioannou on saxophone, Christos Yerolatsitis on piano and Ioannis Vafeas on drums. The artists are among the most active and dedicated musicians with notable participation in festivals in Cyprus and abroad, international jazz clubs, recordings, personal albums, theatrical performances and of course countless appearances at various venues and events in the island. The band presents mostly Michalis compositions characterized both tunefulness and the intensely rhythmic patterns and improvisation parts. (See full Interview)
Last on Friday’s official program, on 11.30pm, will be is a project created by Cyprus- based guitarist and composer, Odysseas Toumazou. He recently completed the recording of his first studio length album “Ensticto”. His work has been described as, “truly authentic and strong, personal sound within the guitar-trio-genre.” His influences are wide and include jazz, classical and traditional music that create a unique sound catering to a variety of audiences. Improvisation is a key element of Odysseas’ music, allowing for an immersive experience between the audience and band during performances, that can be described as accessible and simultaneously experimental.
At Paradise Jazz Festival Odysseas Toumazou will be performing original pieces inspired by the traditional sounds of the island. The defining improv and jazz qualities mingled with Mediterranean influences is what can best characterize this fusion of sound. The artist is accompanied by George Koulas on drums and Andreas Rodosthenous on electric bass and featuring guest Michalis Kouloumis on Violin.
The night will end with our traditional Jam Session, where the Cyprus Jazz Musicians will mix together in an improvised mood and in more unrestricted forms.
On Saturday the 24th the night will start on 9.30pm., with Nikos Charalambous Trio which is based on original compositions from Nikos, and a few cover songs from the Jazz, Pop/Rock world. The sound belongs in the modern jazz idiom and expresses a balance between strong rhythmical ideas and beautiful melodies combined with strange soundscapes and dreamy atmospheres. Nikos Charalambous is on guitar and compositions, Marijn Roeland Van de Ven is on double bass and Omiros Miltiadous is on drums.
We will continue on 10.30pm, with the Alexis Kasinos Quartet which will be participating in the Paradise Jazz Festival presenting original compositions of the recently released Alexis’ debut album Right Place, Right Time. Having jazz as a basis, the pieces of the album are also influenced from a modern era including a variety of rhythms that set to each composition a certain mood. Every single melody of the recording tells a different story that can be developed in the fantasy of the listener. The band members are Alexis Kasinos on guitar and compositions, Andreas Panteli on piano, Cahit Kutrafali on electric bass and Stelios Xydias on drums.
We kept for last as the highlight of 20th PJFestival the Trio Misteriozo who will welcome in Cyprus and on our festival, one of the most well-known Dutch jazz musicians, the pianist, educator, composer/ arranger Rob van Bavel Rob had won several significant awards, he had released more than 200 CDs as a sideman or as a leader, and he is playing regularly with famous artists.

In Macbeth, Verdi surpasses the conventional frames of his time and composes an operatic work of theatrical power and characters that possess extraordinary psychological depth and intensity, whereas with dexterous orchestration he succeeds in dramatically sketching violence, conspiracy and death.
Macbeth: the plot

Accomplice and instigator of the criminal acts is Macbeth’s wife, Lady Macbeth. In the end, she commits suicide burdened by guilt and he is killed in battle by noble Macduff who defends Malcolm’s (Duncan’s son) rightful claim to the throne.

2019-09-03 20:30 | Strovolos Municipal Theatre, Strovolos Avenue 100 Strovolos, Nicosia Cyprus, Nicosia, Cyprus
With almost three decades of artistic activity, the Cyprus Youth Symphony Orchestra cultivates the dreams of passionate youngsters who long to express themselves through the mystical language of music. With the onset of the new artistic season, the cream of the musical youth of Cyprus presents an enlivening concert experience from every aspect. The 12-year-old talented Ela Kallides, violinist at the CyYSO, makes her solo debut in Wieniawski’s highly virtuosic and marvelously expressive 2nd violin concerto, whilst Tchaikovsky’s 5th Symphony is the perfect match for the romantic tone of the evening, “a striking work” that “seems to spring from some dark spiritual experience” as the Russian critic and composer Berezovsky most eloquently wrote.
Αn enchanting orchestra led by an inspiring maestro, a young virtuoso, and a driving passion that unites all sets us up for a memorable evening!

Law on Blockchain & Blockchain on Law
2019-09-05 18:00 - 21:00 | Cyprus University of Technology, 30 Archbishop Kyprianou,, Limassol, 3036, Cyprus
This event will explore the influence of blockchain on the law and vice-versa. This seminar will examine how blockchain technology will reshape the legal industry. Blockchain is already transforming how the legal profession works in many respects, such as smart contracts, automated securities settlements, and payments via digital assets. Conversely, this seminar will also explore the legal repercussions of using blockchain technology. It is inevitable that domestic legal systems will seek to regulate blockchain technology, but is the incremental nature of the law suitable to regulate the exponential change of blockchain technology?
