Cyprus Museum Hosts Giannis Koutis' ‘Words of Silence’ Album Presentation
WHY IT MATTERS
The presentation highlights the fusion of ancient Eastern Mediterranean music with modern artistic expression, underscoring Cyprus’s role as a cultural crossroads and enriching the region’s contemporary music scene.
What happened
On Thursday, October 22, the Cyprus Museum in Nicosia will showcase the debut album ‘Words of Silence’ by renowned oud virtuoso and composer Giannis Koutis. The event, part of the Nicosia International Festival, will feature a live trio performance with Koutis on oud, pianist Marios Takoushis, and flugelhorn player Markus Stockhausen.
Koutis, known for blending Byzantine, Ottoman, and Eastern Mediterranean traditions with contemporary composition, has collaborated with musicians across Europe and the Middle East, creating a musical language that transcends borders.
The evening, priced at €20, promises lyricism, subtlety, and a contemplative, almost mystical atmosphere that invites audiences to explore lost memories through sound.
