Take us back… Rhapsody Unleashed, a rock concert

Let’s let the photo take us back to our summer 2024 Rock concert! 🔥 On July 2nd we left classical music behind for a while, and let rock music move us and the audience in a sold out Nicosia Municipal Theatre.
At the “Raphsody Unleashed” concert, Sistema with its 3 orchestras, in collaboration with Anthi Papaphilippou and Nicosia Municipality Children’s Choirs, but also a wonderful rock band (with Avraam Kondo and Elli Koutsoulis on vocals, Miros Evagelidis on Drums, Andreas Paraschos on the Electric Bass, and Panos Larkos on the Electric Guitar), presented a rich artistic program of rock music, accompanied by the orchestral arrangements of the young Cypriot Avraam Kontos and choral arrangements by Anthi Papaphilippou under the direction of our conductor Santiago Ossa Alzate.

The audience also got to hear for the first time, the piece ‘Phoenix Thrive’, a  composition that Avraam Kontos composed, inspired by the children of Sistema Cyprus.

In this concert, we combined our music with the actions of the YCAN Police of Cyprus in the context of the World Anti-Drug Day. Sistema Cyprus is not just an orchestra, but a socio-musical organization, with its social dimension always at the center of our vision. With this concert, we put into practice the common vision we share with YKAN- the prevention against drugs and social exclusion as well as the hope for social change for a better future.

We thank YKAN for giving us the opportunity to include our concert in its actions for World Anti-Drug Day. A unique evening! We sincerely thank all the children of the choirs as well as Avraam Kontos and Anthi Papaphilippou for the perfect cooperation we have had all these months. ❤️🫶
