The Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra in Cyprus for the cultural event of the year
Bank of Cyprus sponsors of the concert, on top of its Platinum Sponsorship of Paphos 2017
Τhe historical Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra, a world-class music ensemble, has chosen Paphos for this years’ “Concert of Europe”, which will take place at the Paphos Castle on the 1st of May 2017.
Paphos 2017 is a leading event that renders Paphos the focal point of European Culture for 2017. As such, it leaves behind significant infrastructure –both physical and “soft”- that promises to raise the level of Paphos, and through Paphos, of Cyprus, as a cultural destination. The Orchestra participates to the annual “Concert of Europe”, hosted each time in great historical places that have been linked with outstanding cultural achievements, in various cities of Europe.
With these performances, focus is given to the cultural associations and similarities of the members of the European family. The concert will be broadcasted live by the German national television and other stations in Europe, and will be retransmitted in Asia and the Americas in the following days.
Also, during the break of the live broadcast, the audience can enjoy a documentary dedicated to the unique beauty of the city that is chosen to host the annual concert of the famous Berlin Orchestra. The artistic director of the Philharmonic Orchestra has been for years Conductor Herbert von Karajan, making the Orchestra famous all over the world and shaping its identity.
