Recital honours Austrian and French composers
An upcoming voice and piano recital is set to bring masterful classic music melodies to Strovolos Municipal Theatre in Nicosia. The Contes a la Belle Etoile recital on September 10, organised by the Ledra Music Soloists and the Institut Français de Chypre, celebrates the life and music of two renowned European composters and shines the spotlight on two Cypriot musicians.
Young soprano Constantina Nicolaou and pianist Nicolas Costantinou will take the stage to honour the 200th anniversary of the birth of Austrian composer Anton Bruckner and the 100th anniversary of the death of French composer Gabriel Fauré. Constantina will be making her debut solo recital in Cyprus with this recital, offering the audience a unique opportunity to enjoy her voice in a programme featuring masterpieces by these two composers, as well as works by Franz Schubert and Claude Debussy.
In May 2024, she made her debut at the Gärtnerplatztheater in Munich, performing the leading role of Frau Fluth in the opera Die lustigen Weiber von Windsor. Her future appearances include concerts with the Cyprus Youth State Orchestra in Vienna and Cyprus. The evening will also include solo piano performances by Steinway artist Nicolas Costantinou, known for impressing audiences with his daring selection of repertoire.
