“Gong Xi Fa Cai” or “Happy New year” for yet another time in the company of the Cyprus Symphony Orchestra, less than a month after the celebrations for the western New Year. Yes, the Chinese New Year was rung in on January 28th this year, and on the occasion maestro Alkis Baltas and the members of the CySO, as well as erhu virtuoso Zhang Zhao on her two-stringed Chinese violin would like to invite you to a special concert featuring works by two Chinese composers as well as by Gluck, Weber, Schmitt, Kreisler and Strauss, all of them directly or indirectly linked to this geographically (at least) distant to us country. Happy New Year then or… “Gong Xi Fa Cai!”
