THE SOUND OF MUSIC - Family Concerts

Family Concerts with slide projections, for children of ages 5 and above

Saturday 29 March 2014, Pallas Theatre, Paphos Gate, Nicosia
Two family concerts at 16:30 and 18:00

The Cyprus Symphony Orchestra travels you and your children to Salzburg in Austria in the Alps with the accompaniment of music by the famous musical “The Sound of Music”.

The main character of the musical, Maria, is encouraged by the nuns to first live the secular life before deciding to live permanently in the monastery; and is therefore called by Captain Georg von Trapp to babysit his seven children while he and his wife are away on a trip for a month. While in the house, Maria teaches the children the basic principles of music and teaches them to sing. As the Captain returns from the trip, Maria tries to implement love and music in the Captain’s house, by encouraging him to truly reveal his love towards the children. The Captain feels charmed by Maria’s effort, falls in love with her and marries her.

The whole story is described through the songs, some sung by the nuns, others by Maria, the Captain and others by the children. These songs such as, among other, “Do, Re, Mi”, “My favorite things”, “Edelweiss”, “Climb Ev’ry Mountain”, and of course “The Sound of Music” will be performed by the rising Cypriot soprano Aliki Chrysochou. Conductor and narrator will be Alkis Baltas.

Join us to enjoy and sing along with the Cyprus Symphony Orchestra the Sound of Music!!
