Ledra Music Soloists presents an enchanting evening of art-song titled “Aphrodite’s Song”, featuring soprano Marianna Suri and pianist Nicolas Costantinou.
The concert is dedicated to the diverse and multifaceted portrayal of female characters, as they come to life through myths, 19th-century European literature, 20th-century Cypriot poetry, and the island’s popular traditions.
The figures of Phidylé, Mignon, Sappho, and Ondine, along with the Cypriot maiden, are connected through the metaphorical presence of Aphrodite – a representation of the modern woman. Aphrodite, as also a symbol of timeless femininity, adds an extra layer of meaning to the exploration of passions, contradictions, and the strength that defines the female experience.
A unique musical journey that delves into the beauty, complexity, and timelessness of the female spirit, featuring works by Duparc, Schumann, Michaelides, Debussy, Ioannides, and C. Y. Stylianou. Don’t miss the chance to experience a programme that weaves melodies, emotions, and symbolism.
