A unique musical experience arrives in Limassol soon blending Cypriot musical tradition with contemporary elements, celebrating the island’s cultural heritage while exploring its evolving artistic identity.
The 30-member all-female Amalgamation Choir celebrates its 10th anniversary with a special performance of CLAY – ΠΗΛΟΣ on May 17 at ETHAL Theatre in Limassol. Two shows will take place; first at 6pm and again at 9pm.
The concert engages with elements of Cypriot, Greek, Pontic and Cretan traditional music, as well as with elements of the musical tradition of the Greek-speaking communities of southern Italy, while infusing these sounds with new, original compositions.
The performance highlights the voice of women as bearers of tradition and memory, merging past and present in a powerful exploration of Cypriot identity. The choir’s vocal prowess brings together folk melodies and modern arrangements, creating an immersive musical experience that reflects Cyprus’ timeless and vibrant culture.
Amalgamation Choir, known for its performances in Nicosia, Paphos, London, Stockholm, Lyon, Istanbul and Brest, now brings its dynamic sound to one of Limassol’s best known venues, ETHAL theatre.
The concert features an artistic collaboration with renowned Cypriot potter Socrates Petrides, who integrates traditional pottery elements within the performance, alongside composer Giorgos Kalogirou and arranger Ermis Michail.
CLAY – ΠΗΛΟΣ is more than a concert; it’s a multisensory journey that invites the audience to connect with music through symbolic objects like the traditional Cypriot kouza (a traditional Cypriot pot made with stoneware clay), engaging both through sound and visual culture.
No tickets will be sold at the door. Those interested have to send a WhatsApp or Viber message to 96-300323 (Leda) specifying the number of seats and preferred showtime. Payment instructions will then follow.
