Press Release th 17 INTERNATIONAL PHAROS CHAMBER MUSIC FESTIVAL 2 – 20 JUNE 2017 CYPRUS 2 & 9 JUNE / THE SHOE FACTORY, NICOSIA 15 – 20 JUNE / ROYAL MANOR HOUSE, KOUKLIA “The stunning locations of the Pharos Chamber Music Festival attract top musicians year after year” BBC Music Magazine, March 2012 Since its inception 17 years ago the International Pharos Chamber Music Festival has established itself as the most important annual classical music event in Cyprus, and has gained an international reputation for its quality concerts and magnificent settings. Guided by a visionary spirit and dedicated to artistic excellence, the Festival is now recognised as one of Europe's preeminent music festivals, having placed Cyprus on the international cultural map and garnering enthusiastic acclaim from music lovers all over the world, while it has made chamber music more accessible to the general public by presenting exciting programmes and performances of the highest level by some of the world’s most renowned soloists. The Festival also maintains a strong tradition of community service, with educational concerts organized for students of public schools and a number of master-classes for young instrumentalists. Organized between 2 and 20 June 2017, the 17th International Pharos Chamber Music Festival welcomes to Cyprus some of the most remarkable artists on the international music scene, for an extensive fortnight of music-making in two unique venues in Cyprus: the Royal Manor House in Kouklia – one of the finest surviving monuments of Frankish architecture in Cyprus and a UNESCO World Heritage site, and The Shoe Factory, a contemporary recital venue situated in Ermou Street near the buffer zone in Nicosia. Exploring the many forms of the chamber music genre, the Festival will encompass an impressive array of instrumental combinations and repertoire, ranging from the Baroque to the 20th century, as well as a number of rarely performed masterpieces. THE 2017 EDITION: The 17th International Pharos Chamber Music Festival will open on Friday 2 June 2017, at The Shoe Factory in Nicosia, with a voice and piano recital by the renowned Danish coloratura soprano Susanne Elmark. In great demand around the world for the last twenty years, Elmark has been engaged in houses like Deutsche Oper Berlin, Bayerische Staatsoper in Munich, Gran Teatre del Liceu Barcelona, Teatro Real Madrid, Opera Oslo, Oper Frankfurt, Oper Cologne, Opernhaus Zürich, and Royal Opera Copenhagen. For her recital in Cyprus, Susanne Elmark will join forces with the international repetiteur Christian Westergaard, winner of the 2015 International Lied Duo Competition, in a programme of songs by Debussy, Berg, R. Strauss, Prokofiev and Grieg. A week later, on Friday 9 June 2017, The Shoe Factory will welcome the return visit of the sensational young pianist Vitaly Pisarenko, winner of the First Prize in the 8th International Franz Liszt Piano Competition and Third Prize winner at the 2015 Leeds International Piano Competition. His recital, which is organised in collaboration with the Keyboard Charitable Trust in London, will include works by Schubert, Schumann and Liszt. After an intensive week of educational activities and master-classes for students from all over the world, the 17th International Pharos Chamber Music Festival will move to the Royal Manor House of the ancient village of Kouklia near Paphos, which is specifically transformed by the Festival to a first class recital hall. Some of the world’s greatest musicians will join forces for six concerts, between 15 and 20 June 2017, in an impressive array of works. The Festival will host one of the most renowned names of the great Russian piano school, Sergei Babayan, claimed for the immediacy, sensitivity and depth of his interpretations, the rare emotional intensity and bold energy of his performances and his extraordinary mastery in exploring stylistically diverse repertoire. Babayan was the first pianist from the former USSR who was able to compete without government sponsorship after the collapse of the system, and immediately after his first trip outside of the USSR, he won consecutive first prizes in several major international competitions including the Cleveland International Piano Competition, the Hamamatsu Piano Competition and the Busoni International Piano Competition. The Festival will also feature one of the most musically dynamic and technically gifted performers of the new generation of pianists, the Gold Medallist of the 2013 Van Cliburn International Piano Competition, Vadym Kholodenko, who is internationally recognised for his powerful and exhilarating performances that “show the guts of a true super-artist”. Alongside them, the Festival is thrilled to present the return visit of the amazing Yevgeny Sudbin, hailed by The Telegraph as ‘potentially one of the greatest pianists of the 21st century’ and by the International Record Review as ‘one of the most important pianistic talents of our time’. Besides the Festival’s regular guests – distinguished cellist and artistic director of the Festival Alexander Chaushian, the impressive Russian violinist Boris Brovtsyn, violinists Levon Chilingirian and Monika Urbonaite, violists Diemut Poppen and David Abrahamyan, and cellist Tim Park, this year’s Festival will also host for the first time the exceptional violinist Alena Baeva, who is fast emerging as one of the finest violinists of her generation, having already carved out an impressive career to date working regularly as a soloist with some of the world’s most important orchestras, one of the most brilliant and engaging French violinists of our times – Nicolas Dautricourt, who has been voted "Classical Discovery of the Year" at the Midem in Cannes and awarded the Sacem Georges Enesco Prize, the prodigious violinist Clara-Jumi Kang, prize winner in several major competitions, including, Tibor Varga, Seoul, Hannover and Indianapolis violin competitions, and the fascinating violist Jennifer Stumm, recognised as one of the world’s dynamic and creative advocates for her instrument, whose TED talk “The Imperfect Instrument” was named editor’s pick of all talks on ted.com. The 17th International Pharos Chamber Music Festival will also welcome the return visits of French cellist Marc Coppey, who was discovered by Lord Yehudi Menuhin at a very early age and who is nowadays considered one of the leading cellists in the world, the renowned Italian flutist Massimo Mercelli, who is the dedicatee of numerous works by some of the most important contemporary composers including Philip Glass, Giovanni Sollima, Sofia Gubaidulina and Krzysztof Penderecki, and the newly founded Cyprus Guitar Trio, which comprises three renowned classical guitarists from Cyprus – Vasilios Avraam, George Christofi and Socrates Leptos.

The building also houses an archaeological museum, which records the rich history of human activity in the region from about 2800 BC to the present day. The Royal Manor House, which is part of the Cyprus Tourism Organisation’s “Aphrodite’s Cultural Route”, is also a UNESCO World Heritage site. Palaipaphos, or Old Paphos, was a city-kingdom of Cyprus and one of the most celebrated pilgrimage centres of the ancient Greek world. It was the site of a famous sanctuary of Aphrodite, the oldest remains of which date back to the 12th century BC. Join us in a leisurely exploration of the history and cultural heritage of the western region of Cyprus. The Shoe Factory, Nicosia is situated in the old part of Nicosia, near the buffer zone. Through it, the Pharos Arts Foundation is helping to revitalize this beautiful and historic section of the capital city by attracting a wide and diversified younger audience. All concerts are characterized by a unique feeling of intimacy and music is performed in an exceptionally inspiring setting: a modern venue decorated with contemporary art by mainly local artists; a venue situated in the “run down” part of Nicosia that offers the audience the unique opportunity to sit within an amazing proximity to world famous artists and experience performances in a venue like no other.

By the early 1940s Khachaturian was riding on the crest of a wave of popular success. ARAM KHACHATURIAN (1903 –1978) His Piano Concerto (1936) and Violin Concerto (1940) established him, alongside Violin Concerto in D minor (1940) Prokofiev and Shostakovich, as one of Russia’s most celebrated composers. His I. Allegro con fermezza stunning incidental music to Lermontov’s Masquerade appeared in 1941 and the II. Andante sostenuto following year his epic ballet score Gayeneh was written, which included the ever- III. Allegro vivace popular whirlwind ‘Sabre Dance’. ‘I wrote the music as though on a wave of happiness; my whole being was in a state of joy, for I was awaiting the birth of my son. And this feeling, this love of life, was PYOTR TCHAIKOVSKY (1840 –1893) transmitted to the music.’ So saying, Khachaturian set the seal on his gloriously inspired Violin Concerto in D Op.35 (1878) Violin Concerto, composed over two months during the idyllic summer of 1940.

How often have you heard a piece of music you didn’t know and wondered why it hadn’t been recorded before? Well, Toccata Classics aims to bring this kind of neglected treasure to the public waiting for the chance to hear it – from the major musical centres and from less-well-known cultures in northern and eastern Europe, from all the Americas, and from further afield: basically, if it’s good music and it hasn’t yet been recorded, Toccata Classics is exploring it.

Since the festival’s first edition in 2002, TIMF has been striving to assemble highly qualified musicians in order to build its own ensemble. In 2011, then Alexander Liebreich initiated a collaboration of musicians from Ensemble TIMF with the Munich Chamber Orchestra, thus for the first time building a truly international Festival Orchestra. From then on, the group was assembled annually, performing at home and abroad. At the opening of the new Tongyeong Concert Hall in 2014, TFO was again led by Alexander Liebreich and included musicians from Ensemble TIMF, Polish National Radio Orchestra of Katowice, and from major international symphony orchestras, such as NDR Hamburg, Munich Philharmonic, Kremerata Baltica, Osaka Philharmonic, Melbourne Symphony and Sydney Symphony Orchestra. In 2015, TFO truly became a musical centerpiece of the Tongyeong International Music Festival. Following the festival theme „Voyages“, the orchestra went abroad to play in Japan and China. Performing together with violinist Gidon Kremer and German conductor Christoph Poppen, the orchestra consisted of musicians mainly from Korea, Japan and China to create a musical bridge between the three countries.

    25. Mai 2015 Programm Grusswort Der Gastgeber

    22. - 25. MAI 2015 PROGRAMM GRUSSWORT DER GASTGEBER Wir möchten Sie hier auf der Brunegg herzlich willkommen heissen. Esther Hoppe und Jürg Dähler haben mit ihren Kolleginnen und Kollegen ein Programm zusammengestellt, das schon bei der ersten Ankündigung begeisterte Kommentare ausgelöst hat. Wir freuen uns mit Ihnen auf ein hervorragendes musikalisches Erlebnis. Bis anhin hatten wir die Räumlichkeiten stets nur für private Anlässe benützt. Dass nun die Öffentlichkeit Zutritt hat, ist vollkommen neu, und wir wollen damit eine neue Tradition beginnen. Da wir hier unser privates Wohnen eingerichtet haben, bitten wir Sie um Verständnis, wenn Sie keinen Zutritt in unsere Wohnräume erhalten. Diese stehen übrigens zum Teil den Künstlern zur Verfügung. Brunegg war seit dem Beginn des 19. Jahrhunderts im Besitz der Familie Hünerwadel von Lenzburg und gelangte durch die Heirat von Marie Pauline mit Adolf von Salis, dem Vater von Jean Rudolf von Salis, in unsere Familie. Es wurde im Sommer sehr lebhaft zu geselligem Zusammensein genutzt; es wurde gewohnt, gespielt, geschrieben und diskutiert. Wir selber haben seit den 1990er Jahren Renovations- und Umbauarbeiten machen lassen; die Unterburg erhielt zwei moderne Wohnungen und den Festraum in der Tenne. Das Schloss oben und die Gartenanlagen wurden tiefgreifenden Restaurierungen und Erneuerungen unterzogen; die gesamte Anlage wurde von einem halb ruinenhaften in den heutigen, bequem bewohn- und bespielbaren Zustand umgewandelt. Wir hoffen, dass Sie das mit uns geniessen können und wünschen Ihnen ein gelungenes Pfingstfestival! Thomas und Elisabeth von Salis Gastgeber EDITORIAL DER KÜNSTLERISCHEN LEITUNG Die Historie des Schlosses Brunegg in seinem heute rundum erneuerten Gewand verführt und verpflichtet zu gleichen Teilen, an diesem geschichtsträchtigen Ort ein Festival zu gestalten, welches Tradition und Innovation in sinnlicher Art und Weise verbindet.
