Ethno Cyprus

After the success of previous music camps of “Ethno Cyprus” held in 2005, 2006, 2008 and 2010, this year in July 2013, the Cultural Movement of Limassol EPILOGI – Jeunesses Musicales Cyprus will present the Euro-Arab Youth Music Encounter “Ethno Cyprus 2013”. The projects is realized in partnership with Jeunesses Musicales International, Arab Academy of Music of the Arab League, Jeunesses Musicales of Croatia and Belgium, AGORA Cultural Association from Egypt and Holy Spirit University Kaslik (USEK) from Lebanon.

This year, 40 young virtuosos on traditional instruments from Europe (Belgium, Croatia, Cyprus) and Arab countries (Lebanon, Egypt, Jordan and Iraq), will meet to explore their common cultural identity. Teaching each other for 10 days through music workshops, they will create a concert program combining creatively the music sounds of Mediterranean. The artistic leader will be Andreas Christodoulou.
“Ethno Cyprus 2013” is happening within the “Euro-Arab Youth Music Centre” that was launched in Limassol in September 2012.
