Wecome to Pafos/Cyprus, where our European Concert takes place this year. Today we started with a project close to our hearts: The Berliner Philharmoniker
celebrate with their annual European Concert the shared values of a united
Europe. On the occasion of the orchestra’s visit to Pafos for the 27th European
Concert, the orchestra has initiated the project #UnitedByMusic Youth
Orchestra Pafos 2017. Young musicians from all of the island of Cyprus
performed together with musicians of the Berliner Philharmoniker, united by the
universal language of music, Mozart’s Jupiter symphony under the baton of Stanley Dodds. The Berliner Philharmoniker wish to thank the
German Embassy in Nicosia for supporting this initiative and in particular the
musicians Nihat Ağdaç and Natalie Neophytou for their invaluable assistance in
organizing the event.
