Press Release
12th International Pharos Chamber Music Festival
May-June 2012
“From Aphrodite's hill-top Sanctuary to an idyllic olive grove, the stunning locations of
the Pharos Chamber Music Festival attract top musicians year after year ”
BBC Music Magazine, March 2012
Since its inception in 2000, the International Pharos Chamber Music Festival has established itself as the most
important annual music event in Cyprus, and has gained international reputation for its quality concerts and
magnificent settings. Guided by a visionary spirit and dedicated to artistic excellence and innovation, the Festival
attracts over 2.000 visitors every year. The Festival maintains also a strong tradition of community service, with
educational concerts organized for students of primary and secondary education, as well as a number of masterclasses for young instrumentalists.
The 12th International Pharos Chamber Music Festival comprises 10 concerts throughout May-June, in three unique
venues in Cyprus: the impressive Royal Manor House in the ancient village of Kouklia, birthplace of goddess
Aphrodite; the contemporary The Shoe Factory, situated in the run-down part of Nicosia; The Olive Grove, a worldclass, open-air venue surrounded by the idyllic forest of Delikipos. Over 20 artists will join forces, including Lars
Hannibal, Michala Petri, Streichtrio Berlin, Daishin Kashimoto, Alexander Chaushian, Emmanuel Pahud and Chen
Halevi.

THE VENUES:
The Royal Manor House / Kouklia is one of the finest surviving monuments of Frankish architecture on the island and an
unparalleled venue for intimate chamber music performances. 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 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, quite frankly, like no other.
The Olive Grove is a world-class, open-air concert venue, which aims to deliver relaxed and informal events so that intimacy is
developed between the artists and the audience. The venue is surrounded by the idyllic forest of Delikipos and is adorned with
wooden decks, shallow pools of water, zen landscaping and a uniquely atmospheric lighting. The audience can relax on the
chairs, blankets and pillows with a glass of wine.
