A Musical Journey from the Crucifixion to the Resurrection
Thursday, April 10 – St. Catherine’s Catholic Church, Limassol
Easter is a time of deep religious devotion and inner contemplation, as the Divine Passion is rekindled in our hearts. The journey from the Crucifixion to the Resurrection is reflected not only in sacred rituals and timeless traditions but also through art, with music holding a central role. Guided by this philosophy, the Easter Concerts aim to offer audiences a unique musical experience, filled with emotion and spirituality.
The program focuses on the power of the human voice, as expressed through the great vocal works of the European musical tradition. Words and music intertwine in a seamless harmony of emotions – love, sorrow, lamentation, and faith – mirroring the dramatic passage from the Crucifixion to the Resurrection. The artists have selected a repertoire of universal appeal, performed in multiple languages – Latin, English, Czech, Italian, Spanish, and Greek – featuring hymns, songs, arias, piano works, and excerpts from renowned requiems and oratorios.
At the heart of the program is Ave Maria, the timeless prayer to the Virgin Mary, presented through the evocative melodies of Franz Schubert, Giuseppe Verdi, and William Gomez.
The concerts are organized by Ms. Antonella Mantovani, Representative of the Latin Catholic Community in the House of Representatives, under the auspices of H.E. Monsignor Bruno Varriano, Bishop Patriarchal Vicar of Cyprus, with the support of the Deputy Ministry of Culture.
Three distinguished musicians bring the artistic program to life:
Zoe Nicolaidou – Soprano
Andreas Aroditis -Tenor
Zbynek Maruska – Pianist
