Cypriot Music Celebrated at UNESCO Headquarters

The representation of Cyprus to UNESCO organised a cultural event entitled Musical Myths of Cyprus, Contes musicaux de Chypre, at the organisation’s Paris headquarters on June 05.

The event centered around film music composed by Cypriot composer Costas Cacoyiannis and included poetry by Pampos Kouzalis and Dimitris Lipertis. The performance also featured DIASTASIS cultural association.

The performance took place in front of a broad audience, including members of the UNESCO Secretariat, diplomats, media, members of the local Cypriot community and the general public.

In his address, Pantias Eliades, the ambassador of Cyprus in France, noted that the artists taking part were some of the most influential currently working in Cyprus and placed their work in the broader context of the country’s contemporary cultural scene.
