Part of Francophonie month 2025, the STARLIGHT 4 concerts of the Cyprus Symphony Orchestra invite the audience to an enchanting evening of French artistry and elegance with two superb French artists. The Orchestra anticipates with much joy its first collaboration with the world-class oboist Céline Moinet, who has been praised as “…flawless throughout: her sound is a delight, her technique impeccable and her stamina…superhuman”. At the podium we welcome back the amazing conductor Patrick Gallois, renowned for his commanding brilliance and outstanding recordings with NAXOS.
Francis Poulenc’s Sinfonietta opens the programme with its playful wit and lyrical grace, a delightful piece of neoclassical brilliance. Oboist Céline Moinet will enchant us with Jean Françaix’s L’horloge de flore, a whimsical and evocative musical depiction of flowers blooming through the hours of the day, brimming with colour and subtlety. The concert will conclude with yet more French elegance with George Bizet’s masterful First Symphony, a tribute to his teacher, Charles Gounod.
Τhe concerts are held under the auspices of the President of the Republic of Cyprus, Mr. Nikos Christodoulides.
